Geocache Description:

A small camoed water bottle where the sidewalk ends.

You can approach this cache by either parking at the library and following the titular sidewalk or you can park at the dead end and walk the shorter distance from there. I based this hide on the book Where the Sidewalk Ends which was a favorite of mine growing up. Here is an excerpt that is quite the cacher's mantra:

from the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974)

Mama said I'd lose my head
if it wasn't fastened on.
Today I guess it wasn't
'cause while playing with my cousin
it fell off and rolled away
and now it's gone.

And I can't look for it
'cause my eyes are in it,
and I can't call to it
'cause my mouth is on it
(couldn't hear me anyway
'cause my ears are on it),
can't even think about it
'cause my brain is in it.
So I guess I'll sit down
on this rock
and rest for just a minute...
