This is one of several caches I will be placing on the Redbank Valley Trails in the Lawsonham area this Fall. All are placed with permission from the Redbank Valley Trails Assn (RVTA). Trail hours are dawn to dusk. The trail surface here won't be improved until 2014. See below for parking coords. This cache shouldn't be hard to find. There is food and fuel about 3 miles from here in Widnoon.
Congratulations to Muffin the Holy for FTF.
Jewelweed, aka Touch-me-not, comes in 2 colors of flowers, either yellow or orange. The flowers are only about an inch long, but the plants are anywhere from 2' to 8' tall. My kids always called them "poppy flowers" because the flowers make a popping noise if you pinch the sides together. This plant has fungicidal properties and can relieve the toxic reaction to poison ivy if applied right away. It grows mostlly in shaded areas in wet soil - the same places that poison ivy likes to grow!
