Located on the Spring Valley Trail
Spring Valley Trail is owned by and located behind John Wood Community College. This beautiful and little known trail is open to the public but, you are requested to sign the log book at the trail head.

Also located at the trail head are maps of the area with a numbered identification guide to the flowers and trees located along the trail.

Much of the trail is simply a dirt path however, the trail to the cache is covered with wood chips & will get you close to the cache which is a camouflaged rubber maid container. Please put it back just as you found it so it doesn't disappear again.

Along the trail you will find numbered wooden posts near some of the trees which correspond to the numbers in your guide.

Also, along the trail you will find a beautiful butterfly garden. There you will find a box containing a guide to some of the butterflies that may be encountered.

Wild life that may be observed include, birds,rabbits, squirrels, deer, turkey, frogs & if you're really lucky you may even see a snake.

Near the cache site you will find a park bench overlooking a beautiful natural spring.

This is the 2nd cache i've set up on this campus. The other is a multi cache called "The Governor's Tour" and the first waypoint, a statue of John Wood is located near the main building. There are also 2 other caches placed by Moo Cows, Cicada Or Locust & Oops Missed The Turn.

Have fun as always & God bless!

Went out to do a little geocaching while up from Texas visiting relatives. I took my four year old along for the hunt in the woods. She was a real trooper in stomping around the area. This was the easiest one to get to and it's in a beautiful area. My daughter took a little while to stomp around in the water before we moved on. TFTC
