Geocache Description:

On 4/14/2013 I was hiking in this park and noticed this tree would be a good spot for a cache, I checked it and to my surprise there was a cache already here. After some research I found out that it had been archived. I liked the spot so I am creating this new cache. I have copied the description from the original one.

"We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa wah oh wha oh"

I had this song in my head all day "Lake Marie", from the album "Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings" by John Prine. So when we walked past our own Lake Marie, here in Skyline Wilderness Park and across the creek that feeds it, I decided to place my cache...

"Many years ago along the Illinois-Wisconsin border
There was this indian tribe
They found two babies in the woods
White babies
One of them was named Elizabeth
She was the fairer of the two
While the smaller and more fragile one was named Marie
Having never seen white girls before
And living on the two lakes known as the twin lakes
They named the larger and more beautiful lake, Lake Elizabeth
And thus the smaller lake that was hidden from the highway
Became known forever as Lake Marie"

"We were standing
Standing by peaceful waters
Whoa wah oh wha oh"
