Play Ball - Mud Hens Style Traditional Geocache
Stumpy75: Well, after a bakers dozen worth of cache containers, I'm done with this one... The container is gone again. The last two containers lasted a total of 3 weeks. And that's with either a hard drive magnet or a rare earth magnet holding them on. They didn't just fall off...
It's been a good cache, but I'm now opening the area up for someone with a lot of extra cache containers...

It's NOT inside the ballpark! ;-)
Located near the Toledo Mud Hen’s 5th/3rd Field. The Mud Hens stadium is ranked as one of the best in the minor leagues and hosted the minor league all-star game in 2006. A great place to spend an inexpensive night with the family. And the Mud Hens, the Detroit Tigers AAA farm team, have been title contenders in the International League since the stadium opened. Enjoy the stadium and the surrounding great places when finding this urban micro.
This is a nice micro to show off the great places in downtown Toledo! It will be nearly impossible to find without being seen by thousands of muggles on a game night, but is very accessible in all seasons and all other times.
Difficulty rating based on non-game days... GPSr reception is not good in this area, probably because of the buildings, so that's why the difficulty rating is higher than you might think it should be(especially after you find it). I set this cache up with an external antenna, and had +-9' accuracy. I confirmed this with a Trimble GPS used for surveying work.
Update 6/28/09: Since most peoples GPS, without an external antenna, put the original coords inside the ballpark, I have adjusted the coords to reflect the distortion that the tall buildings cause with GPSs without external antennas.
6/1/12 update: The container now has a REALLY STRONG MAGNET to hold it in place.
IT IS NOT INSIDE THE BALLPARK.
Bring a pencil.
Please put it back exactly as you found it, or it will be visible to thousands of muggles per week during the season!
HAVE FUN!!!!
