	About Published on Feb 1, 2015 We decided to start doing geocache projects in parks everywhere. Our favorite, quick hike place is very near our house. We often go there for a short, but rich hike in the evening, or between other busy things we are doing on the weekend. It's absolutely beautiful there. The land area was donated by one of the Dayton's and it has a wide range of hard woods there including many old oaks that are 125-400 years old. Beautiful place.
