Geocache Description:

In the heart of Thornton Research Park. You're looking for a bison tube: log only, so bring your own pen.

I always thought it was Cummings Research Park, but there it is on the sign at N34 42.786 W86 41.519. Turns out that UAH (University of Alabama in Huntsville) owns this parcel of land, and named it after Mr. Thornton.

Anyway, they're building like crazy in here, with a lot of companies already in operation.

This is a relatively secluded area, so traffic and parking will be no problem DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. Be aware that this is NOT a night cache. Turns out that there are some nasty folks who populate this area at night, and some nice policemen who try to keep an eye on these folks. You don't want to be involved with either.

Please replace the bison tube exactly as you found it.

Congrats to wayne_etc for FTF!
