After placing my latest cache which was evil, I figured it was time for a nice cache.
This cache started out as a ceramic bluebird (with film can log) sitting in actual bluebird nest (from cleaning out bluebird boxes) in a hollow tree cavity which would be the natural bluebird nesting site. Over time the bluebird went missing (replaced by a blue egg) and more recently the big long dead tree with the nesting cavity fell over. Things change, the log is in a large hot pink plastic egg in what remains of the old dead tree. A new ceranic bluebird was added. They went missing so now there is only a blue plastic egg.
The cache is located within 10 feet of the Lenepe trail that runs through Middle Run. Resist bushwhacking since the trail winds back and forth in many places
Use the official Middle Run parking (Off Possum Hollow Road near Tri-State Bird Rescue)
The blue bird has been associated with happines in folklore. The mythology of the bluebird has deep roots that goes back to thousands of years. Indigenous cultures across the globe hold similar myths and beliefs about the bluebird. It is the most universally accepted symbol of cheerfulness, happiness, prosperity, hearth and home, good health, the renewal of springtime, etc
BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS - Lyrics
SO BE LIKE I,
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH
TILL YOU FIND A BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS.
YOU WILL FIND GREATER PEACE OF MIND
KNOWING THERE`S A BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS.
AND WHEN HE SINGS TO YOU
YOU WILL SEE A RAY OF LIGHT CREEP THROUGH.
AND SO REMEMBER THIS,
LIFE IS NO ABYSS,
SOMEWHERE THERE`S A BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS.
LIFE IS SWEET,
TENDER AND COMPLETE
SINCE WE FOUND THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS.
WHEN IT`S NIGHT,
EV`RYTHING SEEMS BRIGHT
SINCE WE FOUND THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS.
TWO HEARTS THAT BEAT AS ONE
`NEATH A NEW FOUND SUN,
WE ARE IN A WORLD THAT`S JUST BEGUN!
AND WHEN OUR YOUTH IS GONE,
LOVE WILL LINGER ON
SINCE WE FOUND THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS.
