Geocache Description:

In late summer 2014, I was checking into Marshy Point Nature Center to set up a program for my Scouts. I noticed an announcement for a Maryland Master Naturalist Class. Like the rest of the folks in the class, we've always had an interest in nature.


When we had out first day introductions, I mentioned that I became interested in nature through geocaching. When I mentioned that, the ranger teaching our class mentioned that there were some geocaches in Cromwell Valley Park (where we have some of our classes) that were missing and it would be a nice class project to replace them.

Irishrover007 liked the idea of replacing them, as he lives close to Cromwell Valley park. But, he didn't have any knowledge or experience (total muggle). Since irishrover007 lived close by, I figured I would place these caches and then let him adopt and maintain these caches. So, since the CO chose to archive this one, we chose to put one in the same spot. When the others get archived, we will replace them as well.

The original cache here, GS10071, was a decent one that my children and I enjoyed finding. The girl scouts had made a bunch of s'mores SWAG out of foam. My son grabbed a couple, since he liked them so much.

Original contents are a little bit of SWAG, logsheet and a pen. Oh, and a pathtag.

Check out the map of Cromwell Valley Park. This one is a little off of the Meadow Trail (yellow), just past the end of the actual meadow.
