Geocache Description:

Pretty easy, smaller than a soup can, but filled with neat small treasures.

The title is not a spelling mistake. This is a public park, but over-run with the Privet plant (Ligustrum) thicket.
Getting to the cache from the most obvious route would make it a tough terrain through the privet; a round about approach may be a bit longer, but MUCH easier. Only difficulty would be a slight slope and few feet of Vinca.
Cache is a bit smaller than a Campbell's soup can. Yep, it is exactly where you think it is on your approach.

Please put it back in the same corner to keep it hidden.

Found this neat hidey place while logging the invasive plants in the park for the city. How many foreign invaders can you identify here? The Privet thicket, of course, several kinds of Ligustrums, also Chinaberry, Nandinas, etc. You'd think this was China, not Texas.

New Note Sept. 2008 - due to recent construction in the area, this is almost a park and grab now. The old parking lot is closed, but a new street now runs within a few yards of the cache, across the "lawn" of horseherb and asian jasmine. Much easier to get to now.
