Jellotrees+Flutterby: The original cache location is no longer pleasant. We looked around for another spot, but didn't find anyplace else we liked as much, so we'll let this go.

Geocache Description:

We discovered this park while in search of a WoW cache, and we decided to climb to the top of the hill to see the view. We were impressed enough to encourage others to do it too. We think the trees, rocks, and ravines are an exciting contrast to the grassy meadows below. Please be sure and cover up the cache; there is evidence that it has been discovered at least twice by muggles.

This cache is dedicated to the holidays, not just the major holidays, but the minor ones too. Our container is a two-quart thermos jug filled with holiday treasures. To help you stick to the theme, here's a list of holidays: (visit link)
