This cache
was hidden for Dutchlandian's "
I Scream for a "Dutch
Treat
"
event.
This cache, along with several others, has been placed on a 40 acre
site owned by Sugar Grove United Methodist Church.
Pastor Steve Good has kindly given permission for the placement of
these caches. While hunting the caches, please remember that
you are a guest on church property, and you should treat this
special place with respect. Please do not cache here at night, and
only park in the mowed lot east of the entrance. There is a
waypoint listed for parking. You may notice a mailbox near the
parking lot. There's a log book inside where you can write about
your wildlife sightings during your visit.
This is the future site of their new church,
and the land is open to the public.
Everyone is encouraged to explore the property, which includes a
creek, a wooded area, a native prairie, wildlife, a pavilion, park
benches and more. There is a prayer path that will basically
take you around the perimeter of the property. Along the
path, you'll find many interesting places to explore, as well as
several geocaches to track down. Family activities such as
picnics are encouraged.
Church events are held at this site at various times throughout the
summer months. Please be respectful if you visit during these
times.
"Welcome, Pilgrim" is placed near the entrance to the church
property. This is where I first glanced over while driving by
and noticed the cross at this cache site. Be sure to
read the message at the cross. How cool is this
congregation??? I also noticed the pavilion way back there,
and I was very intrigued. The more I learned about this
place, the more I realized how special it is. A couple of
e-mails to Pastor Good and a quick meeting a few days later sealed
the deal, and there are now 8 caches hidden here.
Our goal wasn't to make the hides extremely challenging, so
don't expect a lot of bushwacking. We just
wanted to get you out here to explore and enjoy this
area. We think you'll love walking through the different
landscapes on the property. Take your time and look
around. You'll be sure to discover some hidden treasures
(besides the caches).
You'll be looking for a small Lock and Lock that should be very
easy to find. Please rehide it carefully.
