Now if for some reason you do not have at least 5 of the 7 current oldest, you may substitute any cache from the list below that was once a historical cache but is now in cache heaven. In that event you will have to list your qualifying caches in your log and the date you found them or make a public bookmark as the challenge checker only reflects the current 7.

This cache is in River Bluff Park off Old Allegan Road in Saugatuck Township. Old Allegan Road was built in 1935, following a Native American trail which ran along the north shore of the Kalamazoo River. Stagecoaches ran this road, providing an important link between the city of Allegan and the lakeshore.
The cache is a small camo'd Lock 'n Lock, originally filled with frogs, lizards, lots of pathtags, geocoins, and an ancient Egyptian symbol rendered in silver. It's hidden in a traditional manner. The difficulty rating is based on what you have to do to get credit for it. Otherwise it'd be a 1 ... Please cover it back up to keep the muggles out!
Don't miss River Bluff and Heritage Trail #19 caches, also in this park!
