Geocache Description:

Log only; BYOP/P

This hiking/biking trail near my son and daughter-in-law's house was just begging for some caches since there weren't any on it yet. Nothing special about these caches and they should be fairly easy to retrieve. SO... get out of the cachemobile, put the dog on a leash, grab a bottle of water, pull on those tennis shoes or hop on that bike and get some exercise! It WILL do you good as scientists say that exercise reduces stress and makes one a better lover!

"Softfall" is one of the names given to that cleaned and smooth bark that is fast replacing sand in play boxes at parks and schools. Unlike sand... it's touted as being non-compressible and animals do not like to do their business in it so it's overall safer and healthier for kids to play on. One problem we've noted at work is that Softfall has a tendency to develop "dog vomit" fungus when it gets excessively wet and retains extra moisture under the bark due to poor soil drainage. It's quite harmless, looks a LOT like dog vomit and is easily removed.

You're looking for some concealment camo that resembles this fungus near some bark. It's NOT harmful... please replace as found.
