Geocache Description:

This cache is a camoed M258A1 Decon container located in the J.I. Case Wetlands, which is a part of Hawthorne Park.

Contents include:

log book
cool new decon sized Pilot pen (NOT FOR TRADE!)
2 AA batteries
some karabiner key chains
some statehood quarters
1999 Susan B. Anthony dollar
Mike's Express FREE Works Wash coupon
a geocoin
Its stocked full! :)
FTF has choice.

The J.I. Case Wetlands are located just east of what most consider Hawthorne Park. These wetlands are a preserve, and are actually part of the Hawthorn Park property. This is a VERY interesting area, which is why I placed this cache here. Be sure to walk around and check out the short trail into the water, and the long trail around the west side of the wetlands. Fishing is permitted (and you will see people fishing!), and at times hunting (geese anyway) is allowed. Overall this is just a nice place to visit and investigate! This is one of 2 or 3 caches I plan to place in this area. This one I consider the "easy intro" cache, the others should be a bit more interesting >:-}

Note: This is a wetlands area! At some times of the year the area around the cache may not be dry! At this time it is fairly dry, but there is still a lot of soft ground on the way to the cache! Im guessing during the spring or any rainy time you may need to be very careful when retrieving the cache or prepare to get wet!

All Vigo County parks are open from dawn to dusk, this one is no exception. Please observe all standard park rules. There is a nice parking area off of Old Maple, and a big sign at the parking lot.
