Geocache Description:

Welcome to Pheasant Valley Park

I had this park in mind for a while now, so I finished up with my haircut and set out to find a spot for a new cache.  I mark my parking spot and off I went in my shorts, sandals and t-shirt.  No, that's not good...no, not their either.  Oohh how about there...but wait that's even better.  So I finally settle on the hiding spot, mark the coords, run an average and save it to the GPSr.  I look up and realize, I was so focused on finding a spot, the I didn't really watch where I was going.  I don't have the GPSr track on because it usually just takes up memory space and isn't needed.  So I start to head back where I think and realize, I have my parking spot marked...cool.  Pop that in and the arrow is pointing that way.  I start going and now the arrow is bounced that way.  So the tree cover is wreaking havoc with my signal.  So I start heading to the way I think and get to a clearing...Nope, wrong way.  So I head back that way and come to a stream...Um, I didn't cross a stream getting here.  So I find another somewhat clear space and get reoriented.  OK...that way.  So I start heading over that way and come to a bunch of tall grass/weeds/brush, etc...Oh man...I'm in shorts and sandals and the ticks are everywhere this year.  I am all turned around at this point, so I just go for it.  Start plowing through stuff, come to a stream again, see some downed tree where I can scamper across that.  And finally see an opening and the groomed area of the park.  Do a tick check and surprisingly see none.  There's a few scratches and a bunch of mud on me, but I can live with that.

Hope you don't get all turned around when you come to find this one. There is room for trackables and some swag.

I have also put a couple of seed caches in there to stimulate some cache placement in the area.

Congrats to Aiwendil67 with their first FTF!
