Geocache Description:

Oh the Catalpa tree! You are looking for something smaller than a bread box, bigger than a film container.  READ THE HINT GIRST FOR PEOPER RETRIVAL AND CACHE RETURN


Of all the trees in this series, this species brings about the fondest of my childhood memories for me. I grew up in the north west corner of Ohio in a small-ish city called Lima. Yep. The city GLEE takes place in. I digress. The catalpa tree has been in my life since I could walk! Out front of my childhood home, a 30 ft Catalpa grew. Gnarled and beautiful. Every spring my front yard would be covered in the beautiful, orchid-like, white speckled flowers this tree produces. The pods were definitely a nuisance to pick up before mowing. 

Tree number 3 in "These Are a Few of My Favorite Trees" series,  is the jack-pot of my hides sorta speak. This cache will be LOADED with swag for the FTF to pick through and my first TBGeocoin Greek God Zeus, will be awaiting to begin its journey. Speaking of Journeys! Small TB's are sure to move in this location, right of of Arsenal makes for a quick park and drop and eventual pick-up! 

Please read the hint to ensure the correct re-hide of the cache. This hide might be easier for small hands and a team of two. Cache is magnetically attached. Please replace as found :)
