This geocache was placed in an area where my kids first learned to climb rocks and explore nature. Twenty years ago, I lived on White House Trail (WHT) and my kids were very young (1 yrs old and 4 months old). We lived up the street and often took our stroller down to the park in the evening and watched sunsets. As the kids got older, we would come here with friends and neighbors who had small children and have picnics or outdoor play sessions, letting the kids scramble about. This went on for years, even after moving away, as we still had friends on WHT. The last big blast for us was Easter, about 5 or 6 years ago when we (and 2 or 3 other families) staged an Air Soft battle royale in the ravine below this area.

Parking is on WHT. You can access the park via the large driveway. Head in the direction of the waypoint provided. Leave the driveway at the big bend, heading south. The first part of the driveway is historic hiker access and is open to the public.

For whom does Bell Park toll? For anyone who wants to get out, walk about and see the beauty of the mountain parks of Evergreen!

I found this cache accidentally while letting my dog sniff out ground squirrels in the rocks. I thought I had found most of the caches in the park (since I live right there!) but this one was newish.
Hikers, please note the new public access easement into the park from the end of White House trail. Halfway up the last driveway on the left, the public easement shoots off to the right (follow signs). Beyond the signs is private property with no parking or access.
Thanks for the surprise cache!

Finally decided to investigate this area after looking at this green space on the map for years. 4-5 caches so close to home, but I was always confused on how to access properly. I'm always leary of caches that say to use private property to access but this access is clearly marked with "hikers welcome" signs. We met with a neighbor coming up the road to hike the trail and he said the trails meander throughout the property. Found the container with no trouble and think this is a great place to picnic and hang out with kids. Thanks for the hide!

Nice new cache. Dropped an official Jeep TB if anyone needs it for a challenge cache.
