	The Cache Across America Series: This is a series of caches that will take you on a caching tour of the entire United States. One cache is hidden in each of the 50 states. These caches each contain a numeric clue that will lead you to one final cache located in our nation's capitol upon completion of the series.
	About this cache: Welcome to this great Team Rod & Tod cache. This peaceful park, nestled in the middle of Somerset, has many great features...the bridges, made of cement, look like wooden bridges, there are fish in the eastern cement pool. The two cement "trees" are chimneys for the building in the hillside. Rumor has it that this area was once used by Al Capone while on his travels between Chicago & Detroit! Also, this park was recently listed as one of the most haunted parks in America...keep an eye out for the previous inhabitants! Bring a picnic and the family, there are grills available on site, as well as a nice covered picnic area and a playground....a baseball diamond is located just to the north of the area. Read the historic plaque (which is also a virtual cache...W.H.L cache) and search for another cache hidden somewhere in this park (Somerset's Hauntings...hidden by Tod, Kaleb and myself as well). There are also a series of letterboxes hidden throughout this park...happy hunting!! Just to the southwest of this area is the beautiful Somerset State Game Area...a 600+ acre rustic park mainly used for hunting, has the scenic Lake Lombard in the center. There is a great scenic trail which circles the large lake...this 4 mile trail takes you through many great geological features, the lakes have some great fishing...not easily accessible by boat though...sorry! MIS, Stagecoach Stop, Walter J. Hayes State Park, Hidden Lake Gardens, and Mystery Hill are just a few other attractions located in and around the beautiful Irish Hills to the east. Even U.S. 12 is historic...this road was once a main east-west stagecoach route, as well as the main smuggling route for some notorious gangster like Capone. Many nearby caches also await you!! Come enjoy this great area, spend some time in the beautiful state of Michigan...we are glad you came!!
