Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Geocache Description:

Located just off the cool Doling Park Trail. Do not go into the main Doling entrance. Instead, head East and the road will take you by the pool, beside the tennis courts and behind the Northview Center where the Parking Lot is where you park(this area of Doling Park is the far East/northeast side)

Stumbled upon this cool trail and area while scouting areas for caches.
The main paved trail (the only paved trail in this part of the park) is short and it loops back around to rejoin itself.
And check this out--the paved trail/loop is LIGHTED!! Or it used to be lighted. Vandals have broken every light and they haven't been replaced.
On the opposite side of where i hid my cache, there is a dry creek bed with MANY dirt trails winding in and out of the forest floor and over and back across the dry creek bed. Theres even an occasional "trail intersection".
When you find the parking lot,hop out and head towards the brown steel bridge and the start of the paved loop trail begins to your left (west)
The Doling Park grounds are quite large and beautiful with tons of stuff to do and enjoy.

Cache is a cammoed small waterproof container.

**Please note**
A pen is included with the log but who knows how long it will still be there. Bring your pen or pencil just in case.

PLEASE watch out for muggles!
This geocache has been muggled once and we don't want it muggled again!
Be discreet and kick up the stealth!!
Please rehide it back the way i hid it--which is basically hidden one way only.
Make sure the lid is back on securely to keep out water.

THIS CACHE WAS GRANTED PERMISSION FROM MR. BOB BELOTE OF THE SPRINGFIELD PARKS BOARD (VIA EMAIL AND PHONE) PRIOR TO THE PUBLISHING OF THIS CACHE.

Good Luck!
Cache on my friends...
