(Originally placed as an activity for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Cachers' Picnic, June 1, 2002.)
Located in Lancaster County Central Park, this fascinating walkway invites you to use all five of your senses (six, if you count geo-navigation) to experience scores of local plants and shrubs. The coordinates above lead you to a parking lot. Other parking is at 40 01.609 x 076 17.715. To claim this cache, enjoy the trail, seek answers to the following questions, and email those answers to us.
A. In one area there are four plants reminiscent of a popular 1960's song.
What are they? Bonus: who did the song?
B. What plant was once used to revive people from a faint?
C. What plant was once used to treat hysteria, nervousness, and headaches?
D. What is the Pennsylvania state tree?
E. What are those little bumps on each descriptive plaque?
F. Locate the (very) early analog clock at 40 01.617 076 17.785. What time was it when I looked at it? (Just kidding!)
E-mail your answers to me after visiting. No internet finds, don't post answers here even if encrypted.
