Decided to do this one as a Lunchtime cache as I work very near to this park - that I never knew existed (this is becoming a theme in my logs). I arrived at the clue spot at the same time as a group of teenagers in a car who were smoking the wacky weed.

After plugging in the new coordinates I decided to drive down to the larger parking area before heading out to find the cache. The trails threw me off for a bit but I eventually discovered how to get to where the GPS was pointing - without taking a leap of faith.

At this point my GPS dial started spinning. I walked down the trail about 50 yards, turned and started back when I spotted the cache. I probably wouldn't have seen it then except for the previous item left was a small candle in a metal container (this is what I spotted).

This is a great cache and another wonderful park. I too was amazed at the number of fireplaces in the park. Are they still usuable? I would find this amazing in Madison.

The log is almost full. Only a couple of lines left on it and it is about to fall to pieces.

Took: Candle (gave away the spot too easily)
Left: Quarter (all I had on me)
