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. Prize for FTF. There is food and fuel about 3 miles from here in Widnoon.
Congratulations to EAS64 for FTF.
The Indian Pipe, aka Ghost Plant, is very unusual due to the fact the entire plant is pure white. It grows in rich acidic soil (such as is found around Oak trees) and it really stands out in the shaded woods. It is around all Summer long. The flowers nod over until pollinated and then they turn upright. The whole plant gradually turns black as it matures. The leaves are just small scales on the stems, such as asparagus has.
