Soccer Complex in Riverdale

While reading the Facebook page for Riverdale I saw this Proposal for Soccer Fields. I'm the only one with letterboxes in the (potentially) affected area, but I wanted others to know about it. (The other letterboxes nearby are by the sundial which probably won't be affected.)

I tried to find a map, but I haven't yet found one. From what little information is in the posting it will apparently be south of the marsh. This will take out holes 19-27 of the disc golf course, but they may just be changed in location.

On the plus side, it will make it easier to get to this area by adding a bridge across the river at 900 West and parking. On the minus side, it will take out some wild space, some of which is used for cross-country bicycling, letterboxing (mine) and geocaching. Nevertheless, there will still be wild space south of these areas. No matter what happens we'll deal with it.

Interesting. I saw a similar article in a recent Standard-Examiner. I thought they were talking about a different area along the Weber River Parkway and didn't connect it to your series near the disc golf course. The Riverdale Fb page has better info on that. You'll have to keep a watch on it. I always thought that area would be great for a night boxing series, but I never got around to making it.

I agree with The Gingerbread Man, I want to find night-boxes!

But if my experience of night caches then I won't do well with night boxes either. Of 5 night caches I've looked for I've only been able to find 2 of them. One of those was with a group so I was just slack-night-caching.

I have placed one though. It is a driving cache. Maybe I'll think about placing a night box, but not in that particular area of Riverdale. I've got a stamp that I carved within the first year (I think) of me joining Atlas Quest that I carved specifically for a night cache or letterbox. I'll have to dig it up.

I've also got two UTA stamps that I carved about the same time. After I carved them I found (through some geocaching experiences of others) that UTA really doesn't like things hidden at their parking lots.
