Geocache Description:

Welcome to the immaculate Harvester Park in suburban Burr Ridge! You are seeking a small plastic bowl type container hidden in a typical fashion.




One of my favorite old, classic books is The Harvester by Gene Stratton Porter. It is the story of a Thoreau-esque idealist and naturalist and his search for the love of his dreams, the Dream Girl.

David Langston, the Harvester, lives in the woods and harvests medicinal herbs which he sells for a living. Suddenly he encounters Ruth Jameson, the real flesh-and-blood girl that had appeared to him only in his imagination. The Harvester woos her with all the impossible idealistic extremes of his heart, against all odds and with a selfless intensity.

I hope you enjoy your hunt here while in this fantastic park. Happy hunting, and be safe!
