Wizard of Ooze: As the cache owner has not indicated that they have visited the cache location to replace it if missing, perform needed maintenance, or verify that it is still there within the requested time period, I am regretfully archiving the cache to clear it from the active cache database and open the area to new caching opportunities.

If the cache owner would like to replace a cache at this location, please submit a new geocache listing and it will be reviewed under the current geocaching.com guidelines. Please don’t post a note on your archived listing as it won’t be forwarded to me and I won’t see it.

Thank you for your contributions to geocaching, and we hope to see you actively geocaching once again in the near future.

Geocache Description:

This is a round button release snuff box, twist tied to a stick and tucked in at eye level. It has a "very" small pencil, log and “very small” trade items. Terrain difficulty is due to a slippery (when wet) tree-root footing at cache site combined with nearest to this normally tranquil ankle deep creek which swells to a challenging ½ meter during a rainstorm surge.

.
The local residents explained they host an “aggressive” Annual-Easter-Egg-Hunt-Festival in this park. The cache type and location placed with this passing challenge.

I was first wowed with this little park after a string of rainy winter days, sitting under the mighty cedars listening to the rain rap and patter through the branches, the musty moss scent surrounds. I was engaged with the stream bank concrete design and its capacity to manage the increasing storm surge. During this 50-meter exposure the creek at capacity tumbles from the passage, under the foot bridges and streaks silver as it banks right then left before returning underground. Hope you enjoy this living, productive Orchard Park.
