Isn't that a romantic title for a cache? It applies to this one
though, which is hidden in a Durham City Park that was once Duke
University's Sewage Treatment Plant.
The plant has been shut down for a number of years and the city
has restored the site as a park. The actual "park" area is fairly
small. There are picnic tables, benches and restrooms as well as a
few former sewage plant structures that have been sealed up and
spruced up with a coat of paint. Kids will have fun exploring and
climbing on these structures.
The rest is trails and wetlands, so the usual compliment of
waterfowl and deer are around. The Sandy Creek Trail terminates at
this park, but it will, at some point in the future, meet up with
the New Hope Creek Trail.
Your hunt takes you on the Sandy Creek Trail, for a short
distance if you park at the City Park or about a half-mile if you
park at Pickett Road.
Parking for the Pickett Road trailhead is:
N35 58.531, W078 57.975
For the Park, it's:
N35 58.049, W078 58.087
Take care when you get close to the hide, you'll need to watch
your footing. This one will not be a good idea just after a heavy
rain.
Please be sure that you place the cache container back where
you found it so little muggles don't find it while playing in the
area. It should be placed out of sight.
This is a log only cache. Please bring a pen.
Most of all, have fun!
