A BIG! 50 cal ammo can (woo hoo! :) ) hidden traditionally. Be sure to get the clue from inside the front cover of the logbook for Can Can 3. After replacing make sure the cache is not visible.

Out of the floodplain for your geocaching pleasure. Not far at all from the trail.

A GeoGolf Adventure!

This is a series of 19 caches which will take you along the Des Plaines River Bike trail.

The Series can be done in triads (3 at a time) or all at once.

I have ridden these trails since I was 10 and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Thanks to 'The Lone Ranger' team for bringing this concept to the Chicago area!

Thomas Jefferson Memorial Woods



Thomas Jefferson



Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 N.S. – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and one of the most influential founders of the United States. Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the Embargo Act of 1807, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806).

A political philosopher who promoted classical liberalism, republicanism, and the separation of church and state, he was the author of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (1779, 1786), which was the basis of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. He was the eponym of Jeffersonian democracy and the founder and leader of the Democratic-Republican Party which dominated American politics for over a quarter-century and was the precursor to today's Democratic Party. Jefferson also served as the second Governor of Virginia (1779–1781), first United States Secretary of State (1789–1795), and second Vice President (1797–1801).

In addition to his political career, Jefferson was also an agriculturalist, horticulturist, architect, etymologist, archaeologist, mathematician, cryptographer, surveyor, paleontologist, author, lawyer, inventor, violinist, and the founder of the University of Virginia. Many people consider Jefferson to be among the most brilliant men ever to occupy the Presidency. President John F. Kennedy welcomed forty-nine Nobel Prize winners to the White House in 1962, saying, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
