Takes less than an hour  Available at all times  Parking available  Short hike (less than 1km) 

When the Smoky Hill neighborhoods were developed decades ago it included several small neighborhood parks nestled away among the houses, most not on a city street.  Not sure if this was originally supposed to be one of those.

What it is now is a catch (cache) basin for rainwater control.  This cache is an X-small camo'd container that initially contains a log, pencil, customized wooden FTF coin, and a few random treasures.  Field has been recently mowed but I expect there will be times during the summer when the grass and weeds get pretty high.  Parking about 200m away on E Berry Place.

Congratulations to PayMeCache, Fearthefish and 2lablovers for co-FTF 25 minutes after it published!

In Aurora today getting a bunch of your INVASIONS caches. Loved each of them and had a great morning finding them. Thanks for the smileys and fun time. Your INVASIONS are so much more fun than 2 other hiders ha

3rd time is the charm! I spent a good amount of time searching and couldn't find it. So I went to lunch and emailed the co for help. He offered a hint and I knew exactly where it had to be. I zeroed out at that spot and did a cursory look there. Came back armed with a tool and did a better search but still missed it. The co took pity on me and met up to show me what I was missing. Well done and thanks for the help!

Looked at the grate and around the rocks, but nothing I wanted to stick my hand in.

Again I looked and looked. You are just too sneaky for a old lady.

Found six of your caches today. Almost only 5, but a PAF saved the day for 100% finds.

Thanks for all of your mini-series. Pretty quick finds on all but one. Everything in good shape.

Thanks herndonrd! Logged It's Not a Park- It's a "Cache" Basin #1! from a seventh galaxy using c:geo!

Went out for a drive with "animjason" on a very nice warm and sunny late fall day - this was the third of six geocaches that we found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Enjoyed the hunt, but it's cold out today. Unfortunately, didn't find the container. Did pick up three plastic water bottles and several prickly pear spines. I'll be back.
