A pumpkin is a gourd-like squash. The pumpkin is native to North
America. They typically have a thick, orange or yellow shell,
creased from the stem to the bottom, containing the seeds and
pulp.
As one of the most popular crops grown in the U.S., 1.5 billion
pounds of this colorful crop is produced each year. Weigh-off
competitions for giant pumpkins are a popular festival activity.
The world record is a pumpkin near 500 pounds. From Halloween
through Thanksgiving, pumpkins are popular for eating and
decorating.
I really like pumpkins because I like the color orange, I like
jack-o-laterns, and pumpkin pie! And speaking of things I like, I
really like the Dead Creek Area. I have been wanting place a cache
in this area since I first visited here 2 years ago. Enjoy your
time here. Take a moment to look around at the natural beauty of
this place.
