oscar478: Appears cache is gone, I couldn't find it myself. Haven't had the time to keep up with things so I'm archiving it. Still a good location, so someone can take this one over if they like.

Geocache Description:


Another new cache in this cool Delaware park. Please visit Mingo Tree and Mingo North while you're here.

You'll want to park in a different spot for this one though... There's a small lot on the south end of the park with a dumpster.

Follow the paved path to the 2nd bench, there are some plaques with cool stories about the Civil War and the Underground railroad, and their relative histories to Delaware. I wanted to put the cache here, but the terrain was too bad.

The cache is between the 2nd and 3rd benches. I recommend finding the spot on the path that is immediately West of the location, then putting your GPS in your pocket. There are lots of rocks and chances for twisted ankles and broken GPSrs.

DO NOT MOVE ANY ROCKS!! the cache is viewable and retrievable without picking anything up. The cache is less than 8 feet from the cut grass. Beware of critters that are in the holes where the cache is not.

The cache is on the small side of regular... it's rubbermaid shaped like an average hardback book. You may want to gather the cache, and proceed down the path to the 3rd bench to do your swap.
