When I started geocaching, I was amazed at the number of places that I never knew existed in Fort Wayne. I have seen many wonderful things and now my eyes are open to all the things this city has to hold.

In keeping with this idea, I have decided to place a series of caches in the smaller and maybe lesser known parks, playgrounds, and wildlife areas of Fort Wayne. The big parks are nice, but everyone knows about them and, for the most part, there are already caches there. The smaller parks are just as beautiful, but fewer people know that they even exist let alone where they are.

So to help expand the minds the Fort Wayne area cachers and to promote attendance at the city’s parks, I give you The Parks Less Traveled Series.

This park is not a city park, but it is a park nonetheless. This is a park located in and maintained by the Papermill Bluffs neighborhood. I know this because I live in this neighborhood. In fact, when you find this cache, look to the southeast and you will see my house. Yup, it's one of those over there!! Anyway, I have wanted to place a cache in this park ever since I moved in, but I did not know how I could place one. Well, I found the solution when I was out Geocaching the other day. No, I will not tell you which cache gave me the idea!!!

Well, that was the first cache attempt. As you will see in the update below, I was forced to move this cache. I was also forced to change the cache container. This is now a typical micro cache.

Beware the muggles. There are many houses nearby and many kids love to play in the park.

Bring your own pencil because I did not have one small enough to find in the container.

To maintain the difficulty level of this cache, please put the cache container back exactly as you found it.
