Welcome to the Washtenaw County Parks 2021 Geocaching Adventure! This year, eight geocaches (and one challenge cache!) await you on our properties. Your mission is to find them, note the code words listed inside each cache, and, once you have found all eight, submit your complete list of caches and related code words to parks@washtenaw.org. Geocachers who complete our adventure will receive a special collectible. The FTF for the entire series receives a special prize. Let the adventure begin!
Staebler Farm County Park is a wonderful new community asset currently under development. It is 98 acres with about a mile of trail. Purchased in 2001 from Mr. Donald Staebler and the Heidt Family Trust, the property is a prime example of a late 19th/early 20th farmstead once common in Washtenaw County. It is currently home to the Michigan Folk School. Access is only permitted south of Plymouth Road. Dogs are allowed with a 6’ leash. This area can be thorny, make sure to watch out for poison ivy and ticks! Please ensure that the cache is properly camouflaged when you replace it.
