Michael,
I found your Bensenville (N 41056.067' W 87057.512') stash!
Do not read on if you do not want to know how I found the above-mentioned stash!
I parked my car on Oak Lane Street and entered the woods from West
Ave. As soon as I entered the woods numerous mosquitoes attacked
me! I must have lost a pint of blood! ;-) The canopy was very thick
so I had very poor GPS coverage almost the entire time I was in
the woods. I ended up walking in a few small circles but ended
up standing in the small clearing getting a little better fix.
In order to find it I used the Elmhurst USGS map, a compass, my
terrain reading skills, and my Garmin III GPS unit. It took me
about five minutes (4 min 29 sec) to find the stash. I was in a
real big hurry because I was being eaten alive by the mosquitoes.
I enjoyed finding your stash and did take a picture of myself using
the camera you provided (cool idea I must add).
