This multi consists of a micro with the coordinates to the final, regular-sized cache. All but the last 50 feet or so are on paved trail or mowed grass.

Hidden along the banks of the DuPage river, this park offers stocked fishing ponds (for a small fee), and a nice paved trail along the river. The trail goes for about 1 Ľ miles up to Royce Road, and makes for a pleasant walk, jog or bike ride (dont worry...you won't have to go that far for the cache). The cache is a well-stocked 2.3 qt. Rubbermaid container.

Nice cache here at a pleasant location we didn't know about, even though we're locals. Stage 2 is a little bit inaccessible now in June now that it's high tick season, with tall grass and lush ground cover barring the way. We'll complete the second stage in late Fall.

Hidden Lakes, for sure. I had a bit of trouble just getting to the park, but once I did I was in for a treat. What a great place! I can't wait to bring my kids back next Spring for a bit of fishing. Due to recent snowfall, I had a real hard time at Stage 1 even with the hint, but after slowing down and taking some time to look more thorougly I noticed that I had been touching it all along. I got the coords that I needed and was off to the nearby Stage 2. I've never cached in the winter before, and the snowfall really had me going in circles. Once I started to trust the GPSr, I made the quick find of the nicely concealed cache and TNLNSL.
This is really a well executed multi! TFTC!!! I had a blast!

Catching up on my cross logging to clear my 'not found' Navicache list.

Boy oh boy.

I bet there isn't a more perfect lunchtime twofer as this one and the nearby 'Living on the Edge'.

Chilly and a light wind today. Very sunny.

As I was rounding the hidden lakes the geese, avoiding my path, jumped into the lake. For a moment being supported by the ice and then breaking thru. Crunch, Splash. Crunch, Splash. :)

Got to the zero coords and not having read the description very well I looked for a cache for perhaps 5 minutes. Back to the PDA, Ah Ha!

Got the data worrying that the second and final stage might take me too far for lunch but after entering the coords I was relieved. Also in the same direction as the next cache.

Getting close, gat worried that it might be in that big old, million hiding spot location. Nope, here it is. :)

Signed in, cache in great shape, rehid and I was on to the next.

Thanks for the cache.

Our family's first geocache...really enjoyed the hunt. The micro cache is really a nice touch.
Thanks for the hunt!

3 of 16 on the day (only found 12).
Navicahing with Greenback.

Greenback flatters me too much. I read the hint!

It seems I can't say this very often any longer but I can today... I had no idea this park and the fishing ponds were here. Team work paid off as m2orris found the first stage and I found the final. This is a nice little two staged multi, thanks for bringing me here.

I wasn't the first to find, but it looks like I am the first to log the find. Hey, that's something at least. After an unsuccessful trip on Friday, I sent an email to Stunod to see if I was just losing my touch. Turns out I wasn't and was able to find the cache with updated coords.

Also, for the first time in my short geocaching career (not counting the picnic), I actually ran into another cacher. EagleSon was already at the cache when I got there.

Nice to meet you EagleSon.

TNLN though it was well stocked.
