Geocache Description:


This is a small neighborhood park I used to play in when growing up. -We won't mention how many years that has been. During the summer the clubhouse was open and attended by a couple of college age camp councelor type people. We did arts and crafts, made popcorn, played games, walked across the bridge and climbed down the bluff as a group many a times, etc etc etc. We would walk under the bridge on the Gig Harbor side and get an ice cream or coke at a little place. Was it a diner or a store? I don't remember. I think it was a hamburger joint. The park was a great place to hang out in the summer and I'm sure kept some of the kids out of trouble. I don't know when they stopped having organized days, but it has been years.

During the fall we used to take cardboard and slide down the grassy hills. You seemed to slide faster in the fall dried grass than in the summer moist grass. We used to come home completely covered in grass and dirt, plus it worked it's way under your clothes, so you peeled off the outer layer to a just as dirty inner layer. We'd get brave and try to ride our bikes down the hills too. Sometimes we'd make it, other times we'd crash. Of course we'd slide down the hills in the snow too.

This cache is in memory of the good ol' days when the biggest problem was finishing your homework and sneaking in the house before mother caught you filthy from sliding down the hill or climbing down the muddy bluff by the bridge.

Please roll the log tight and place it in the top first so it won't catch on the threads as you turn it shut.
