Geocache Description:

"She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours"--from Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton

This cache is the 6th in an 11-cache walking series placed over a 1.1 mile stretch located between Blue Course Drive and the Penn State Blue Golf Course.  The series is designed to be family friendly with easy to find hides placed near an established path or paved walk.  Each cache is named after a song with the word "blue" in it.  If you happen to be feeling blue, may the walk lift your spirits.

Much of the path goes through gentle woods of maple and oak trees but some sections are in full sun (when the sun shines).   From parts of the path you can see Mount Nittany.

Most of the caches have logs that are micros set within small or medium containers for waterproofing and easier finding. I've listed most of the sizes as micros since most don't have room for trade items. Please take your own pen or pencil. The hint below is a giveaway.

"Blue Velvet" is a popular song written in 1950 and originally recorded and performed by Tony Bennett. Many other artists have recorded the song, most notably, Bobby Vinton.

The Blue Velvet cache log is in a film canister placed in a larger container (for water proofing) that is itself placed in a camouflaged plastic container. There is no space for trade items.

Enjoy your walk.

(Though my husband, JBT, knows nothing about this cache, I have asked him to be disqualified from the FTF lest anyone think he had advance knowledge.)

Congratulations to mattressgnome for the FTF!
