+Runaround Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 A group Of Cleveland area cachers is planning on making our way over to Chicago in April for a weekend of caching. We're looking for some advice. I've seen the cluster of caches in Busse Woods. We'll make that a "must do". Are there any other areas with good concentrations? Are there any caches you would recommend as the type that we must visit on the trip? We'll have all day Saturday and Sunday. I'll be honest, our goal is two-fold. We're after numbers but we want an enjoyable experience. My traveling companions left it to me to set the route. I'm not a big fan of virtuals so I'm more interested in traditional caches. Thanks for the help in advance. Now where did I park my car??????? Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 We were just talking about this in our Chicago Yahoo Group. There's another even more dense cluster of caches in the Orland Park/Midlothian area called Bremen Woods (on the topo maps anyway). Start searching on a radius around Johnny Cache. The contiguous cluster of forest preserves is about 2 miles N/S by 3 miles E/W and contains at least 30-35 caches. There's gorgeous scenery and a really good level four terrain cache (Shelob's Lair (Two Towers)). Check out the Chicago Geocaching site and go to the favorites section and scope around. If you have any more specific questions, please ask! We'd love to help - or e-mail me and I'll help out or at least put you in touch with someone else who can help directly. Good luck - and I'll probably see your logs! Markwell Chicago Geocaching Quote Link to comment
+SpongeRob Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Depending on how much time you have. No visit to the area could not be complete without a visit to Beverly (GC28) Illinois first Geocache. About 6 or so caches now available in this area. Not a huge concentration but with some historic value. -- SpongeRob rwmech@keenpeople.com www.keenpeople.com WPWU826 Cache'n Retrievers Quote Link to comment
wild05 Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hey, check out the Chippily Woods cache in Northbrook, IL. It's about 20 minutes from the Busse Woods cache. It's a nice wooded area and a good hike. Quote Link to comment
