Welcome to Wild Iris Park, where I am not aware of a single wild
iris growing. You can use the coordinates of the first cache to
find a good place to park. What you are looking for is very well
hidden, so allocate an appropriate amount of time. This is
NOT a park-n-grab. If you succeed, you will get the
coordinates of the actual cache. The walk is a pleasant ¼ mile,
mostly down a paved trail. The container is about the same size as
an extra-large peanut butter jar, and is covered in camo tape.
This is a car-themed cache. It would be nice (but not required)
to trade for a little car, antenna ball, keyring, or other similar
item that relates to cars. The cache itself is placed near a
friend's house. Walk to the swamp and wave to the houses if you
like.
Cache originally loaded with these items:
If you are unsuccessful, please eventually log a "did not find".
If you try a couple times and need a hint, I may email you one.
This cache is designed to be tougher than average. However, you
should be able to trust your GPS because I spent a lot of time
trying to get good coordinates.
Explanation of attributes:
- Park is open from 6:00 AM to 11:00
PM.
- Dogs are allowed on a leash and if you clean up
after them. There are special doggie bags available at the far end
of the trail.
- Bikes are allowed and mountain bikes can have a
pretty easy time getting to the second stage if you pick the right
path.
- There is a playground and picnic tables by the
first stage, as well as a parking lot for the park.
- The first stage was checked after a heavy
snowfall and was winter accessible. The second stage is basically
unaffected by weather.
- The first stage is in view of anyone playing on
the playground, so be sneaky. Also, you may wish to just skip this
cache if there's a car parked in the "ideal" parking location for
this cache. It appears that someone uses the park as a
park-and-ride lot.
- You'll likely hit some thorny brush and maybe
some sort of itchweed on your way to the second cache.
- It's a nice walk, and that's the reason the
cache was placed in this park.
