A.Y. McDonald Park is one of the better views in Dubuque that is
not on a bluff. It is our favorite park to be at on a nice sunny
day, next to the Mississippi River. Something had to be done about there not being any caches on this peninsula like park.
With this Multi-Cache you will need to go to three areas to find the coordinates to the cache location. Nothing to tough, just some minor math. You will not leave the park. The hardest part will likely be getting the cache and returning it from it's
resting place without being observed by Muggles. Please be careful to conceal when finished.
If the Mississippi is high or at flood stage, please be
cautious. Maybe even consider waiting for the water to go down.
In the winter time snow will cover. Again, be cautious.
A TB, and some goodies to start.
