Geocache Description:


Thimble Berry (Rubus Parviflorus) is a common plant throughout the western states.  The plant is named after the thimble shaped berries that come off the plant with a hollow spot like a thimble.  The berries are sweet and tart and delicious.  What many do not know is that the native americans in the area used the leaves of this thornless raspberry cousin as toilet paper.

I have field tested this plant's usefullness and have to say that I have suffered no ill effects.  So learn what the plant looks like and enjoy the fruit and leaves of this plant.

The plant grows near the cache location amongst the Alder trees.  Cache is an ammo can.
