Geocache Description:

One of five camouflaged caches along the Creekwood trails in Fearrington Village. The series is designed to introduce visitors to featured trees and other flora along the trail. You can gather information at each cache that will help you find two bonus caches nearby. Bring your own pen or pencil.


Caches are located no more than 25 feet from the trail. On the log sheet you will find two pairings of letter and digit. Use the letter-digit pairs from this and other caches in the series to find the location of a bonus, Fearrington Flora Bonus 1.

Each cache is also within 30 feet of an information sign, which may describe a tree or other plant, or serve as a memorial. The signs are immediately adjacent to the trail. Use them to answer questions about the plants or about other features. Use the answers to find a second bonus cache. See Fearrington Flora Bonus 2 for a list of the possible answers.

Here is the bonus question for Fearrington Flora 1: What color is the fruit of this plant?

Note: In the woods the GPS signal may be unstable. However, the hint below should be helpful.

This cache series recognizes the contributions of Henry Castner, who has contributed more than anyone else to creating and maintaining the Fearrington trails.
