Geocache Description:


Wolfe Park was chosen for its central location and for the variety of activities it offers. This park was donated in 1913 by Robert F. Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe arrived in Columbus as a shoemaker and eventually earned enough money with his brother to buy the Ohio State Journal and The Columbus Dispatch. Today, one can find plenty to do in this park. It offers tennis courts, baseball/softball fields, a playground and access to the Greenway Trail.

This cache will take some snooping around to do as there are plenty of trees nearby. You want to look for a Catalpa tree, also known as a Catawba (Catalpa Speciosa). These trees typically grow to be as tall as 60 feet, but it is not rare to find them stretching to 100 feet. The best way to identify this tree is by its leaves. These huge heart-shaped leaves are 8-12 inches long. If you are lucky enough to see this tree in May-June, you will find it covered in large white flowers painted with purple and yellow on the inside. Great spot for CITO! You will not find the cache climbing the tree. BYOP.
