Geocache Description:


This TWO STAGE multi should be pretty easy, but will require some bushwhacking. You'll return to a familiar multi-cache spot here at the marsh to discover a means to find the final stage.

Stage One is NOT located at the posted coordinates, however something there will aid you in the location of the cache. Please do not alter or move stage 1 in any way!.

Stage Two, is a short distance away.

Crosswinds Marsh is one of the largest man-made wetlands in the country. It was built to replace the wetlands that were paved over to expand Wayne County's Detroit Metro Airport (the McNamara terminal). Wayne County, together with Sumpter Township, purchased over 900 acres of farmland that believe it or not, was once wetland that had been converted into farm fields by draining the land...in a process that took over a year. They flooded former farm fields, planted new wetland plants and transplanted endangered species from metro Airport. The area is managed by the Wayne County Parks.

Remember, this is a marsh....If you are intending to hunt for the caches or explore the trails, please come prepared with boots/old shoes (not sandals or flip-flops), long pants, and insect repellent. This time of year in the woods of South Eastern Michigan there is poison ivy, ticks and mosquitoes a plenty! Due to the changing seasons in Michigan, the D/T may vary at different times of the year.


The Cache is a large sized lock & lock hidden along the Bald Eagle Trail in the typical fashion. As always, please use stealth and return the cache to it's original location.
