Yeah!!! We're having company. I'm so excited :P
Russellville is pretty safe. About the worst we see is an occasional flasher at Bona Dea Trails. There are a lot of caches along those trails. I think you would be perfectly safe in the afternoon, but I wouldn’t go there at night.
Here is a list of safe, fun, and easy to get to caches. Some of these are ours so I'm tootin' my own horn.
Hear That Lonesome Whistle Blow - Easy to get to. Can do at night.
Ellen's Art - Two stages are very close. Creative hide.
Clark's Vacation - At Bona Dea, but in a very safe area. Close to parking.
Johnny Cache - Short walk
W Won - Another short walk. Pretty area.
Yhatzee - Challenging 1st stage, easy second.
Cousin Eddie - If you're up for a challenge.
Mission Impossible - Fun & easy in a nice park. Will take about 45 minutes.
Check it Out - Short, easy walk in the woods. Check out the visitor center while you're there.
The Evil One - I've never seen another like it. If you only do one, do this one.
Check it Out and The Evil One are at Lake Dardanelle State Park along with Watchable Wildlife which is worth finding if you're in the area.
Mission Impossible and Yhatzee are at the Lock and Dam along with Old Post Overlook, Smelly Cache and Easy Rider. They are all about .25 miles round trip on well marked trails. Audrey’s Kick in the Grass is real close and practically a drive up.
As an engineer you might like Graduating Cache and Main Street, which is long but after the fourth stage you can park and walk.
If you need any hints while out hunting, or anything else while you’re in town, give us a call at 293-4125. If we’re not home Carla always has her phone on. 857-1019
Have fun and be sure to tell us about it when you get home.
