Geocache Description:


In the summertime, the grass leading to the cache site gets a bit long. Also, wear insect repellent! The mosquitos are thick!

Most of the walk to the cache is on a paved path. To find the cache, you will need to go into the brush about 100 ft or so. My 7 and 4 1/2 year old kids had no problem getting to the cahce site.

After visiting the site, head out of the undergrowth toward the north/northeast. There is a nice dirt path that follows the lake. Taking the path toward the west provides some nice views of the lake and will lead to a couple paths that take you back to the parking lot.

This cache was my daughter's idea for something to do for her 7th birthday. So, I hid it with some small bags of goodies for her and her brother to have when they found the cache.

The cache is a standard ammo container with a log book, pencils, and a pencil sharpener (to remain in the cache). For exchange, there are a variety of party favors and "Happy Birthday" balloons. Since it is the "Birthday" cache, I thought I'd stick with a party theme for the original contents. However, it is not a theme cache. So, you do not have to trade only "birthday party" related items.

Please do a good job of re-hiding the cache. I don't want someone to stumble upon it. Even though it is not within site of a path, I am fairly cetain people walk through the area - though probably infrequently.
