Okay, so there's no willow at GZ, let alone a whomping one. The name is in reference to the weeping willow you will pass on the way to GZ, which I've been wanting find a way to hide a cache in for quite some time now. I actually managed to hide one in what I thought was a pretty great spot when a neighbor came out on his porch to express is displeasure in whatever the heck I was doing out there at 10:45 at night that had his dog barking off the hook. I could have argued that that was his burden to bear as a dog owner, but... nah. Not good for cacher or neighbor. Found a quieter corner of the park here.

It's been a few years since I did the Couch to 5k, but it helped me really develop a love of running. I finally hit that 5k mark (3.1 miles), and eventually 10k, 15k, and then a half marathon. After falling off that wagon for a while, I'm back at it. Every time I run, I think about placing a series along my favorite routes. Makes for easy maintenance! Anyway, I'm finally doing it. Hope you enjoy.
