Geocache Description:


I remember my first cache hunt.
I was at a family reunion in a WV state park. The cache was half a mile away.
As I started out I had a few adults coming with me simply to see what this “geocaching thing” was all about. And of course a few kids came along simple because ANY reason to go for a walk in the woods was good enough for them.
The closer we got to the cache the more excited the kids got.
.3 miles (Not that they knew what a tenth of a mile was.)
.2 miles
.1 miles
500 feet (Here they really started running around. They knew what a foot was!)
300…150…75….and off the kids went in the direction I was pointing like bullets!!!
Success!!!

This cache is my attempt to share that feeling with other adults that like to cache with kids.

The cache is located a short hike into a wooded area next to a Marilla Park picnic area. Add a couple playgrounds nearby and you have a great place to cache and play with the family for a little while.

The oversized container is filled with different kinds of balls. Hence the name.
AND, all kids are welcome to take a ball!!! Kids do not need to bring a trade item!
Adults are invited to try and come up with new types of balls to use as trade items.

Long pants recommended. Especially for kids.

Enjoy!!!
