Have you been doing a little
"Cache & Release"...
Or maybe you just had
"A Busy Day"...
Or are you considered to be a
"Master Angler"...
If you do in fact have what it takes
then this Challenge is for you! You see, once we started
caching one of my first goals was to "clear out" Busse Woods of all
the active caches there. It seemed to be a rather daunting
task at first, but then it became a true challenge and was soon a
reality. Now I can say that this has to be our most favorite
Caching Hot Spot in the GONIL area.
For it is here that you will find over 50 caches of varying size,
shape, terrain and creativity. You'll find Puzzles,
Traditionals and Multis. You can hike, fish, jog, bike,
picnic, or just go for a little bit of peace and quiet nestled in
the middle of the Northwest Suburbs. This area features over
11 miles of bike trails amongst its 3700 Acres! Truly a
cachers Paradise if you have never been.
So, you may be asking what is the
Challenge? Well here you go... all you need to do is find
each "active" cache found within
this Bookmark List prior to hunting this
cache. If a cache in the list is temporarily disabled at the
time you wish to hunt this cache but you have found all the others,
then feel free to go for it. I am keeping the rules here very
simple so let you conscience be your guide and most of all have
fun! We hope during your time here you enjoy this Preserve as
much as we do and that you enjoy this location which happens to be
near one of my favorite spots here.
The Ned Brown Preserve is a 3700 acre holding located in
northwestern Cook County. This preserve, also known as Busse Woods,
surrounds Busse Lake, a 590 acre lake that serves as the focal
point of the area. The bicycle trail winds through the forests and
meadows around Busse Lake providing access to many of the preserves
unique features. You can ride through a mature forest past a herd
of elk, then head for the lake to watch the sailboats for awhile.
If you have your gear along, try catching a northern pike at one of
the six fishing walls. There are many opportunities waiting for
you, so plan a time today to ride the Busse Woods Bicycle
Trail.
The Busse Woods Bicycle Trail is located throughout the
Ned Brown Preserve in northwestern Cook County, Illinois. This
Class I bicycle trail is currently 11.2 miles long and winds
through the meadows and forests around Busse Lake.This trail is not
well suited for area residents, but ideal for those riders wishing
to drive to the area. You can stop at one of the convenient parking
areas then unload your bicycle and ride the winding trail through
the preserve.
