Quick park, walk and grab in Seymour Smith Park. Muggles will be going by on the nearby walking path or enjoying a baseball game in the warmer months, so be aware of who may be watching before making the grab. Your GeoHound would be useful here so as not to look suspicious. If your GPSr tries to lead you to the players side of the fence, ignore it. Bring your own pen/pencil (which you may need for retrieval).
This is part of a series of caches all using the same container. Be sure you get the container lid back on tightly and replace the cache where you found it.
************************* ROOT BEER *************************
Root beer is a carbonated, sweetened beverage, originally made using the root of a sassafras plant (or the bark of a sassafras tree) as the primary flavor. Root beer, popularized in North America, comes in two forms: alcoholic and soft drink. The historical root beer was analogous to small beer in that the process provided a drink with a very low alcohol content. Although roots are used as the source of many soft drinks in many countries throughout the world (and even alcoholic beverages/beers), the name root beer is rarely used outside North America and the Philippines. Most other countries have their own indigenous versions of root-based beverages and small beers but with different names.
There are hundreds of root beer brands in the United States, produced in every U.S. state, and there is no standardized recipe. The primary ingredient, artificial sassafras flavoring, is complemented with other flavors. Common flavorings are vanilla, wintergreen, cherry tree bark, licorice root, sarsaparilla root, nutmeg, acacia, anise, molasses, cinnamon, clove and honey. Although most mainstream brands are caffeine-free, there are some brands and varieties that contain caffeine.
