With two young daughters, our lives are filled with things that are colorful and bright! To spread the joy, A and C present this series of rainbow-themed caches. Each cache in the series is assigned a number, and each cache also represents one color of the rainbow. You'll find the number for this cache below. Find the color by carefully examining the container when you make the find. You'll need the numbers and colors for each cache in the series to determine the coordinates for the final Terminus cache (GC8Q4ZZ). Military Ridge Trail is open between the hours of 6am-11pm seven days a week. Note that a trail pass is required for biking on the trail; you can purchase one at the kiosk near the suggested parking coordinates.
⚠️ Caution: Poisonous Plants Nearby in Summer! ⚠️
Based on the small blister that formed on my upper arm within days of scouting locations for this series, I am now convinced there is wild parsnip along some sections of the trail. I paid close attention when I went back to hide the containers, and despite the yellow flowers being gone by September, I believe there is some growing nearby this cache. It is very avoidable if you know what you are looking for, but I highly recommend watching the linked video to learn how to identify it, wearing long pants and/or long sleeves, and proceeding off-trail with caution.
For 21 television seasons, LeVar Burton graced our after school and Saturday morning screens with books and stories of triumph, history, citizenship, and friendship. As one of the most highly awarded children’s television series, Reading Rainbow has received 26 Emmys (10 for Outstanding Children’s Series), a Peabody, and over 100 additional awards and accolades.
I think the show’s theme song sum’s up its mission and the secret to its success and cult following. I challenge anyone to read the lyrics without singing them :) Here’s your earworm for today:
Butterfly in the sky
I can go twice as high
Take a look, it’s in a book
A reading rainbow
I can go anywhere
Friends to know, and ways to grow
A reading rainbow
I can be anything
Take a look, it’s in a book
A reading rainbow
Of course, you don’t have to take my word for it.
The number for this cache is 2!
