Geocache Description:

This is the first cache in the Robert Frost Poem series.

Please enjoy his poem below and then search for the cache that you seek.

 


Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco, where his father, William, and his mother, Isabelle, had moved from PA shortly after marrying.

The Sound of the Trees

I wonder about the trees.

Why do we wish to bear

Forever the noise of these

More than another noise

So close to our dwelling place?

We suffer them by the day

Till we lose all measure of pace,

And fixity in our joys,

And acquire a listening air.

They are that that talks of going

But never gets away;

And that talks no less for knowing,

As it grows wiser and older,

That now it means to stay.

My feet tug at the floor

And my head sways to my shoulder

Sometimes when I watch trees sway,

From the window or the door.

I shall set forth for somewhere,

I shall make the reckless choice

Some day when they are in voice

And tossing so as to scare

The white clouds over them on.

I shall have less to say,

But I shall be gone.

- Robert Frost

The cache you seek is small, but there is room for small items and small trackables. Please BYOP. There is parking nearby, so please access from the parking area of Hager Park. Also, there are groundhog holes in the area so be careful to not step in one.
