Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Detroit's Rouge Park. The park is on Detroit's west side and borders Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Redford Township.

UPDATE* 23 April 2010 and again 27 March 2012: Geocaching friends, I have been overseas with the Army a long time. I finally made contact with Rattrak. I will happily turn it over to him. Thank you and I am sorry I could not maintain this cache. Thank you for visiting the cache and I hope you had fun with it over the years. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Wear some very old boots and bring a change of socks because the area is low-lying, wet, and muddy. There is not a lot of hiking involved, so if you're looking for a very long walk in the woods, you might be disappointed. The coordinates I posted were an average of four that were pretty close together. I had 5 or 6 satellites with an EPE of 15-20 ft each. Since it was very overcast and raining, you may want to expand your radius of search a little. The container is a Rubbermaid food type that is spray-painted flat black. The contents are run-of-the-mill. There are people who wander off into this area (discarded bottles and assorted wrappers present) so I had to camouflage it as well as I could without burying it: it is completely covered with leaves and a couple of sticks. I have included a hint first and then an all-out spoiler if the hint doesn't work. If this description looks similar to "Start Your Engines," I copied and pasted it (with some modification) because they *are* similar. Be sure to print this page and take it with you in the event you need the spoiler at the site. Good luck and have fun.
