Geocache Description:

This is the 13th in a series of Where's Phil? caches. Since IlliniPhil has achieved 1,000 caches, and that he has picked on several of us with his quick wit and cache pages, a consortium of cachers have decided to put out a series of caches in his 'honor'.
Stay tuned ... many more to follow.



I haven't know IlliniPhil that long, so he hasn't harrased me too much. Yet! Plus I don't have a problem negotiating Tallmadge Circle, so he can't get me there. Now, we all know that IlliniPhil loves to put caches in cemeteries and I for one love to visit those old cemeteries. But, it seems that he doesn't like to venture into the woods very often, at least he doesn't hide many caches there. So, we needed to figure a way to get Phil into the woods. How about a challenge? That just may do it! So, here it is.

This cache is in Silver Springs Park in Stow. Home of Bow Wow Beach. It is hidden in the woods, but will not require an overwhelmingly long hike in or out as long as you take the correct path. But, finding the cache once you're in the area may be another thing. (Snicker. Snicker.) It's close to the location of the old "Boober's Lucky Walking Stick" cache, now archived.

Oh yea, you're looking for a nano in the woods. (He says with an evil grin.)

Stealth is important as this cache is close to the hiking trail. Bring your own writing stick and there's no room for trade items. CITO is always appreciated.

Please be sure everything is placed back exactly how you found it. We don't want to make it too easy for the cachers that follow you.

Please note!!! You DO NOT need any special equipment to find this. You DO NOT have to remove or disassemble anything! PLEASE.... ABSOLUTELY NO DIGGING! Again, no tools of any kind are need to retrieve it other than your fingers.
