COORDINATES HAVE BEEN CHANGED SINCE PUBLISHING! Make sure you have the new ones.

It seems the older I get, the more interested I become in local history. Busch Gardens is a favorite of mine.

This cache is set in the midst of what used to be the old Busch Gardens, and in fact GZ is a remnant of the gardens. This is the old original Busch Gardens begun in 1905, not to be confused with the one in the Valley. If you drive downhill from this spot, you will see the remains of a pool supplied by a natural spring, surrounded by a stone structure. There used to be a little hut at the top of the pool. A little further down, you can park and use the gate to have access to several nearby caches in the Arroyo Seco. Not far from here you can see the beautifully preserved Old Mill from a small gate (private property, no trespassing!) located on Madeline Dr. east of Arroyo Blvd. As you walk along the arroyo in this area, you can see what remains of the stone-lined walkways on the eastern bank, the stones coming from the arroyo. There are many remnants of the gardens hidden in residents' backyards that we can't get to. Several movies were made here, including Robin Hood. To see pictures of what Busch Gardens used to look like, please visit www.home.earthlink.net/~draydar/.

The cache has been replaced and is now larger with room for small swag. Includes log and lottery scratcher for FTF. Bring your own pencil.
