Geocache Description:

This cache is placed pretty much near the beginning of my own personal "Heartbreak Hill" located in Valley View Park in Stillwater, MN. Whether I'm walking, running or biking this hill always makes me question exactly what it is I think I am doing out here. My grandfather had a home near this park and I spent countless hours here as a kid. This is my first cache placement and I hope you all enjoy this park as much as I do.

Congrats to MNWild11 on being FTF!

This cache used to be right off the trail but it didn't like its location as it apparently grew legs (as caches are wont to do) and walked away from GZ. Luckily I found it and after giving it a stern talking to about wandering away without telling me I rehid it deeper into the woods.

There are two ways to approach this cache. If you are coming from the park it is easily a 2 or 2.5 terrain rating. If you come from the residential neighborhood to the east it is more like a 1. Either way you will end up on a beautiful walking trail that a lot of locals use. The cache has plenty of room for trackables. Please rehide as well or better than you found.

The cache can be looked for in the winter, but it will become difficult if there is more than a few inches of snow on the ground.
