Terrain Difficulty: Easy (slight slope, .5 mile RT)
Status: alive, wet log
SPECIAL THANKS TO PUDDLE SPLASHER AND VIEWFINDER FOR REHIDING THIS BOX
In 1957, Dr. Seuss was asked to write and illustrate a children's primer using only 225 "new-reader" vocabulary words. The result was "The Cat in the Hat", perhaps the defining book of his career with his most recognized character. You can find this fun-loving cat hiding in this microbox currently located in Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge. At over 3,600 total acres, it is the largest city-owned nature center in the United States, and offers residents and visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the natural history of north central Texas for a small entrance fee. So bring a Thing or 2 and come play with the Cat In The Hat.
Directions:
From Loop I-820, exit Hwy 199 (Jacksboro Highway) and go west 4 miles. Exit Confederate Park Rd. and stay on service road. Turn right at the stop sign on Buffalo Road to Fossil Ridge Rd. Turn right and drive up the hill to the parking area. Walk up the hill to the pebbled sidewalk. The Hardwicke Interpretive Center is at the end of the sidewalk.
Clues:
After checking out the Center and getting a trail map, go behind it and find the Caprock trail. Go right and walk the loop trail counter-clockwise. You will pass 3 trail junctions, always staying with the caprock trail, until you come to a bench facing a fence. From the bench, turn back on your trail and retrace your steps for about 45-50 steps to the fork in the trail. At the fork, turn right (uphill) for 30 steps. Look to the right of the trail to see a double-trunk tree with a log in the fork of the tree, beneath which is a white limestone shell rock. The microbox is hidden beneath this rock at the base of the tree, concealed with smaller stones. Please rehide well and cover so it cannot be seen from the trail. Return to the main Caprock Trail and continue along the loop to return to the Interpretive Center.
