The Pumpkin Tree

The Pumpkin Tree

Yes, in fact there IS such a thing as a pumpkin tree. It’s a rare hybrid imported from the jungles of Costa Rica. The City of Folsom went to great lengths to import one and plant it along the bike trail in Folsom. Unfortunately, it produces a dry, plastic-like kind of fruit that is inedible for humans, but the inside provides a nice hiding place for a cache log. (Wink, wink!)

Park at the intersection of Tacana Drive and Amaya Drive in Folsom.
Look for the white barrier shown in the photo; climb a short hill, turn right, and you should see the rare fruit hanging from the tree.

This cache replaces “On reflection, that was easy” in order to provide space for swag items.
You can still see the reflectors from the old cache. Enjoy!
