Avocado Traditional Cache

The third in a series of nearby fruit-named caches (yes, tomato is a fruit). We have a custom in our household of giving each other food nicknames. Avocado is the code-name of my wife, and is her favorite food item.

Narrow Gauge Way Park is a new and relatively unknown Ann Arbor park. As you descend from the entrance and turn right towards the GZ, to your left is a "kame" (pronounced "kaym"), a hill of stratified sand and gravel formed relatively recently (in geological time, anyway) by glacial meltwater -- around the end of the last ice age 10,000 to 16,000 years ago. My kids Mango and Tomato like clambering up the kame's steep sides whenever we come walking here. The sandy and gravelly parts of the stream (a tributary of Miller's Creek) also provide evidence of the glacial history of this area.
