JBTsWife: I decided to let the "bear" wander in peace wherever he may be and to archive this series. The series has had a great run. Hope others may place caches here to draw folks into this beautiful woods. Happy walking.

Geocache Description:

"The moon, the bear and the Big Blue House
We'll be waiting for you to come and play
To come and play, to come and play"--from the Goodbye Song by Bear in the Big Blue House

This cache is the 9th 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. One requires tweezers. Please take your own pen or pencil. The hint below is a giveaway.

Bear in the Big Blue House became a long-running hit on the Disney Channel  from 1997 to 2003. Bear sings the Goodbye Song with his best friend, Luna (the moon).

You're looking for a micro in a small container. Because of tree cover, your gps readings may bounce around at the edge of the woods. Look for a hollow in a maple tree that is bear-ly big enough for a tiny den. The cache is behind some rocks in the hollow.

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!
