+welch Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 User Coasties has asked for suggestions in another thread, but i figured it would be better as its own. See here for the actual request. Quote Link to comment
+Team Tecmage Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 There are several caches in Water Works Park- six I think. Follow this link to Water Works South Cache, and click on nearest. Ash Works is not in Water Works Park, but I think the Riley Trail goes to Ashworth/Greenwood Park where it is located. Quote Link to comment
+Coasties Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Thanks for the information. I remember going fishing as a kid at Water Works Park, I heard its changed alot since then due to a flood you had back in the 90's. We're looking forward to caching in the Des Moines area.

+smillersmiller Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 Just noticed this thread, but thought I'd join in since I have word the Coasties will still be in the area for the next few days (and for the benefit of anyone else that stumbles in here). I'd second the recommendation on the WaterWorks park tour. The Ashworks cache is not that far from the Great Plains cache. You can do all 6 from the single parking location. I also like the nearby Eager Beaver (GC31D0) http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=12752 One word of recommendation though - disregard the parking coordinates for Eager Beaver. Just park in any Grays Lake parking lot near the cache coordinates. smillersmiller West Des Moines, IA Quote Link to comment
+spinwebby Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Yep, the Coasties had sent me a message earlier that they were planning to be here from the 11th to the 20th of January, but I haven't heard from them recently. They should be here now. I was kinda hoping to meet up with them for dinner or something. SpinWebby www.gpgeocaching.com Quote Link to comment
+Coasties Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 We've been in the Des Moines area since 11 January and have had a wonderful time thus far. We've located 7 caches so far; and I must admit they're a little harder than we though they would be, mainly due to your devious hiding techniques. Our schedule at night is pretty filled, but we're free during the day time. Hope we can hookup, we really like meeting fellow geocachers. We found the following caches so far: * Postcards (1/12) * Derby (1/13) * Not Here (1/13) * Who Forted (1/14) * Eager Beaver (1/14) * Debbie's (1/14) * Water Works South (1/14) We have a travel bug with us on this trip, and we're hoping to deposit it tomorrow @ the Water Works cache rated a 3/3. We've been doing our duty on this trip introducing geocaching to our relatives, if things workout we may have another couple geocaching in the area soon Shawn & Katrina Millang aka The Coasties Quote Link to comment
richcathyalex Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 My son and three of his friends (all sophomores in high school that would rather geocach than visit the mall)spent two afternoons on their bikes caching in Water Works Park. They had a great time. The Ayers Quote Link to comment
