Geocache Description:

Micro hiding near where the sidewalk ends

Where the Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

-Shel Silverstein
 

Shel Silverstein is one of my favorite poets, and this poem reminds us that it is good to go into nature, and leave the sidewalks behind. I hope that this cache is fun for you, and for you to think about the little bit of nature where the sidewalk ends, even as traffic on 81st street flies past you.

Traffic usually won't notice you, but if you go after this cache during the afternoon rush hour, the cars on the 81st tend to get backed up, and you may have more eyes on you than you would like.

You are looking for a small brown container (slightly bigger than a film container) with no camo on it. Have fun, please replace where you found it. Hint will come after the FTF if needed.

Additional Hints (No hints available.)
