Geocache Description:

Grab the geo-pups, get off the concrete and onto the beaten path, and then enjoy nature on a leisurely stroll through the woods in this quiet park as you grab a smiley at this kid- and dog-friendly small cache. Because the cache is within 10-12 feet of the path, please re-cover it well. It is located in Oak Valley Park North; I have provided suggested Parking and Trailhead coordinates. Please observe posted park hours. There IS a second way in but where's the fun in that?

My sister, who has helped me find several caches during my last three visits to Texas, wanted me to put out a cache in her "neck of the woods." She wanted it to be very easy and didn't want people wandering around...too much...so the hint will really help you if you choose to use it. We went back the next day to double check the initial coordinates and they were different by about 20' so the listed coordinates are from the second, cloudless day. (If it will help you, on the first day the last three digits for N were .547 and the last three digits for W were .993).

Trying to think up a name, we settled on one that tied into a joke our father had told a couple of times in the previous few days. He stipulated that it is something his preacher really says and that it is a running joke at their church. (When we told him we were going to use the joke, he was so tickled that he said he was going to email that preacher and tell him.)

Preacher to the Congregation: "I'M good because you folks pay me to be good but all of YOU are good for nothing!"

There is some starter SWAG for different ages; remember to replace what you take.

This cache has the honor of being the FIRST FTF for TxTeamMSB. Congratulations to you! May you have many more.
