Geocache Description:

Cache is located at the above coordinates.

The Leaky Bucket,
With age cannot hold water.
The bottom fell off.

Hmm... very thought provoking, as a good Haiku should do. The elements of this cache can be very calming on the mind and yet very provocative of thought as well. What good is a bucket that cannot hold water? Is it still a bucket? What should it be called. Hmmm. (besides a good geocache hide).

Fall is a gorgeous time to enjoy this cache. The rocky cascade covered with the autumn leaves is very peaceful and serene.

Let this cache inspire or provoke you in ways that can only be expressed in haiku fashion. Your log on this cache may optionally (but preferably) be a haiku This was changed from a logging requirement on 4/6/2009 to accommodate the ALR rule change. You may log this cache after signing the physical log but for the fun of it, give your best haiku if you would like. For simplicity's sake, all you need to know is that it must be 3 lines consisting of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables again. To get that real haiku feeling, The first 2 lines should set the scene and the last line should deliver the punch. Also, technically, a real haiku should make some mention of the season or item of nature, but that will be for extra credit in the log.

The container is a large camo plastic jar
