Fredrick C Boger purchased 38 acres of land in May of 1995 with money he earned singing in his church choir. This land served as a quiet retreat from city life for over 40 years. When Boger passed this land to the District in 1999, he had two requests: the land would be named Boger Bog and it would be opened for the public to enjoy. Boger Bog may or may not be a bog. At this location, you will learn if it is or is not and why.
This waymark is part of the MCCD Cache Your Way Across McHenry County summer program. You do not need to be part of the program to find/log this waymark as it will remain permanent even after the program ends.
