Geocache Description:

"I am the Lorax I speak for the trees."--Dr Seuss,  the Lorax



This Lorax series invites you to celebrate the wonders of trees. The caches are intended as family friendly hides that are easy to find with hints that are giveaways.

This cache celebrates the blue spruce, one of the most popular evergreens. The blue spruce is a species of pine tree native to the Rocky Mountains and introduced as a popular ornamental tree found far beyond its native range.

The Colorado blue spruce was first discovered on Pikes Peak in 1862 by botanist C.C. Parry , and named by George Engelmann in 1879. Blue spruce is also the state tree of Utah.

From the cache coordinates you can see a stately blue spruce tree.

This is a cache and dash. You can drive to within two feet of the cache. You are looking for a camouflaged film canister at ground level by the street sign.  Please bring a pen or pencil and visit only during daylight hours. Please be stealthy.
