***THESE BOXES HAVE BEEN PULLED UNTIL WE CAN FIX AND REPLACE THEM WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE****
Bluff City Cemetery
945 Bluff City Blvd.
Elgin, IL 60120
The cemetery gates are opened 7 days a week, including holidays.
April through October: 7am – 7:30pm
November through March: 7am – 4:00pm
This box was created for the Inland Empire Coyote’s Rock Mini-Gathering in Spokane, Washington. It made its debut on Saturday, June 17, 2006. Now that it has come back to Illinois, it has found a permanent home in this prominent Elgin cemetery.
___________________________________________________________
Once you find your way to this cemetery, follow the main road straight to the back of the cemetery. At the back of this cemetery is a fen, Bluff Springs Fen. It is within this fen that our cardinal makes its home.
Park in the fen’s tiny parking lot, and then make your way to the information box. Enter the path here at the information box and walk past the boulder bearing the name of the fen. Follow this path through its twists and turns. Go over the bridge and enter the grove of trees that are guarding a hill. Follow the path until you see a skinny, naked spire that is pointing to the sky. Before arriving at this spire, you will come to a pair of mighty oaks that are guarding each side of the path. One of these oaks is near the path, its brother is in a little deeper. Inside the brother’s base you will find what you seek. (Please do your best to avoid creating a “social” trail to the base of this tree.)
You will need to bring markers with you as this box is best in full color. You will need Red, Black, Brown & Green.
