Geocache Description:

You are a cunning Geocacher, leader of the pack. You hunt down your prey with determination.

You brag about your Geocaching conquests. Some may even call you a blowhard, but are you really?

Explore this new Metro Park and hike the paved Beech Woodland trail to the cache.  Teamwork will make this easier, but is not absolutely necessary.


**Park in a parking lot. This cache will be removed if people continue to park along the roadway.

Dog friendly. Be sure to check out the other 19 caches that are a part of this year’s Metro Parks GeoTrail!

To participate in the Metro Parks GeoTrail go to www.metroparks.net to find complete instructions. Download and print the GeoTrail page and complete at least 15 GeoTrail caches. As you find the caches fill in the cache clues on the GeoTrail page. The first 100 teams to return their forms are eligible to receive a Metro Parks Geocoin. You will need all 20 clues to complete the puzzle and unlock the coordinates of the Bonus Puzzle cache. Mark your calendar for the GeoTrail Celebration on September 10th.

Educational Cache Info: (beech trees)
This big dead hollow tree is a beech tree, and can be identified by its smooth gray bark. Unfortunately, beech trees are often vandalized by people carving into their thin bark which can introduce disease and bacteria, thus killing the tree. Please resist the urge to make your mark!
