Geocache Description:

Note that this cache was published on April Fools' Day 2014. (I think you will find this cache fitting.)
The cache is hidden in 52 acre Marshall Park which is also home to the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. After finding the cache, I'd recommend taking some time to see more of what this great area has to offer.

BEWARE! Poison ivy in close proximity of the cache hiding spot!

You will need to put your thinking cap on to log this tricky cache. Expect to spend a little more time on this cache as designated by the assigned difficulty rating. The only tool needed is your brain. DO NOT use brute force. Because I prefer my caches to be found/logged, feel free to contact me for additional hints if you're unsuccessful after a serious attempt.

The cache is a regular sized camouflaged container with nice starting swag, a logbook, and a pencil. Please follow all instructions, trade fairly, sign the log, and return the cache to its original state of concealment so this will be a fun find for future cachers as well.

Cachers must sign the logbook to count this cache as a find. Please do not include spoilers in your photos or on-line log. Thank you.
