Geocache Description:

You're looking for a regular size ammo box. You'll need to do about 10 minutes of walking to get from the nearest parking lot to the cache site. The cache is located in a park that is open till 10pm at night, so you can look for this cache after dark, but watch out for low branches.


While placing the cache, we saw traces of a beaver along the Fox river today. We also saw a kingfisher, so you might spot them here as well. Wikipedia writes: "Kingfishers that live near water hunt small fish by diving. They also eat crayfish, frogs, and insects. Kingfishers of all three families beat their prey to death, either by whipping it against a tree or by dropping it on a stone. They are able to see well both in air and under water. To do this, their eyes have evolved an egg-shaped lens able to focus in the two different environments."

There are multiple ways to get to the site. One is to park at this location (N 41°49.677, W 088°18.858) and walk from there. The cache includes some CDs, DVDs and other small things.
