Geocache Description:

Family Series 2 1/2

This is a little series dedicated to those who cache as a family with kids. I have two little cachers and there is nothing like watching them open a well stocked treasure chest. So hand junior the GPS and have fun.


This series was supposed to only have 5 caches in it, but when I saw Bluto Fan archive one of my very first caches the other day, I added a sixth. This cache is a small peanut butter jar can located in Buffalo Ridge Park right next to where his was; just off a well established trail.

It is dedicated to Bluto Fan, whose cache brought me to this great park the first time; I have been here hundreds of times since. There is nothing like sitting along the creek on a warm afternoon listening to the water.

Buffalo Ridge Park is located in Fort Worth off of Beach Avenue. It has two parking areas: West Parking N32 51.157/W097 17.348 and East Parking N32 50.990 / W097 17.000. There is a .41 mile paved trail that connects the two parking areas with picnic tables and a playground near the east parking. The whole trail is over 3 miles long. There is also a small creek that runs along the trail which is great for skipping stones and catching frogs. There are foot paths leading down to the creek, but the footing can be tricky in some area due to the tree roots and the incline. The park is open from 8am to 10:30pm.

NOTE: This area is subject to some serious flooding during the recent rains, I have temporarily upped the terrain to a 3. It could easily be a 5 in a matter of minutes. I watched the water come up a foot in 20 minutes while checking this.
BE CAREFUL!
