Geocache Description:

Not far from the trail. Bring a pencil. You should be able to scout around and find a trail to the top of the hill. Try not to create a social trail, especially on the eroding hillside.

Herring Run Park is an urban oasis in Northeast Baltimore—375 acres of woodlands that extends 2.3 miles from Morgan State University to I-895. Originally conceived by the Olmsted Brothers in 1904, Herring Run Park was recommended as a stream valley park extension of Montebello Park (today the Lake Montebello recreation area). The land, while not suitable for other development, was seen as a destination for travelers seeking beautiful scenery and hikers seeking rugged terrain closer to the city. The park is defined by the Herring Run, a lovely stream which meanders through it.

Don’t be afraid to think outside the grid. Here’s a challenge: pick up one piece of trash every time you find a cache or for every cache you seek. Experiment with the possibilities. Didn’t someone once say, “There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done?”
