Geocache Description:


I was driving by here and the name of the road caught my eye, so I had to place a cache.  Raspberries hold a lot of meaning for me.

They're also delicious!

Solve this quick puzzle and you'll find the cache.

raspberry (n.)
N 43° 48.089 W 079° 08.559

1620s, earlier raspis berry (1540s), possibly from raspise "a sweet rose-colored wine" (mid-15c.), from Anglo-Latin vinum raspeys, origin uncertain, as is the connection between this and Old French raspe, Medieval Latin raspecia, raspeium, also meaning "raspberry." One suggestion is via Old Walloon raspoie "thicket," of Germanic origin. Klein suggests it is via the French word, from a Germanic source akin to English rasp (v.), with an original sense of "rough berry," based on appearance.
