Geocache Description:

This is a 1/2 gallon size traditional cache with a large, official geocaching.com yellow log book. The cache starts off with a travel bug and the usual small toys.

If you go to visit Mercer County Park today, park at the east picnic area.
Bring a picnic basket and a friend today.

If you go into the woods today, you are in for a big surprise!
If you go into the woods today, you better go in disguise!
For every bear there ever there was will gather there for certain because
todays the day the teddy bears have their picnic!

President Teddy Roosevelt was once on a hunting trip with friends and a newspaper reporter. With a bear in his sights, the president thought that the bear was so cute that he let it live. The reporter filed a story about this and titled it "Teddy's Bear".

It's picnic time for teddy bears, the little teddy bears are having a wonderful time today. Watch them, catch them unaware as they picnic on their holiday. See them happily play about. They love to play and shout and never have any care!

Black bears were hunted to extinction in New Jersey until the 1980s when the NJ DEP reintroduced them to northwest NJ. There are occasional sightings of black bears here in Mercer county, but so far, no sightings have been reported in this park. Perhaps one day, even a rare brown bear might be seen here having a picnic.

If you go into the woods today, take a picnic lunch as you might see a good picnic spot along the way. Never walk silently in the woods as you might catch a sleeping bear unaware. Sing your favorite songs along the way.

At 6'O Clock, their mommies and daddies will take them home to bed because they are tired little teddy bears.
