I realized while logging "Spongebob's Secret Stash" at lunch today that this was the last cache in Busse Woods that I hadn't completed. Which led to the next question, how many active caches are in Busse Woods? The answer is: 13.
Which leads me to the conclusion that Busse Woods has become Chicago's unofficial "Geocaching Park" much like Haw Ridge in TN (http:// www.cs.utk.edu/~dunigan/hrcaches/). While Busse Woods has its detractors (I've seen the word "draconian" used to describe it) it has certainly provided me with a lot of enjoyment.
I would like to suggest we add a link on the web site that lists all of the caches in "Busse Woods Geocaching Park". This would be a good way to point persons in its direction who are either new to caching, new to the area, or just passing through.
I'm interested in hearing the group's thoughts.

Just an FYI: The area around Busse Woods also has two caches less than two crow-flying miles from the south entrance (Nature Calls..., and The Teenie Bopper Cache), making it extremely possible to catch 15 caches in one long day (watch out for Moving Target and Now You See It, if you're going to try a frenzy in this park). ;-)
Also, as I'm sure most would realize, at its southern most point, Busse Woods is only 0.83 miles from Chicago's closest Degree Confluence, N42° W88°.
