This is the 6th in a series of Where's Phil? caches.
Since IlliniPhil
is nearing has
achieved 1,000 caches, and that he has picked on several of us with
his quick wit and cache pages, a consortium of cachers have decided
to put out a series of caches in his 'honor'.
Stay tuned ... many more to follow.
Most of Phil's caches are micros and located in urban areas or
cemeteries and although I do enjoy hunting them I also enjoy
something bigger and off the beaten path from time to time. It's
also nice to not have to get dizzy running around the Tallmadge
circle. This one will have a bunch of goodies in it and trades are
encouraged. Here's a photo of the initial contents:
| Watch for poison ivy around
the cache. It's pretty much unavoidable so wear long pants and/or
hiking boots. |
This is a camouflaged large round Lock & Lock container with
the log, a pencil, and a variety of "stuff". There is a fair amount
of room for trade items.
Placed off the main path in the woods. Park in the lot for Burst
Park and follow the hike and bike path west. Access directly from
the hike and bike path may not be practical - go through the open
area to the east of the cache. It's not what I'd call winter
friendly but it certainly is doable in the winter.
This is a park and is only open during daylight hours. Some
minor bushwhacking is required. Some of the surrounding area is low
and can flood at times so access may be limited. The cache itself
is on ground high enough to avoid the flood.
