  • Park on High Drive near Bernard St. - N47 37.105 W117 25.111 (Due to road construction, park at the end of Bernard St. and walk across to the Park Bench)
  • Take the trail down the hill and bear right at the crossroads.
  • To prevent soil erosion, PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAILS!!!
  • HINTS may be needed due to tree coverage and jumpy coords.

NOTE: Baby bunnies were found nesting under the ammo can on EASTER day!!!
See pics on April 17th log. Cache is now in a new spot.
