About this cache:   You are looking for a small lock ‘n’ lock along the Orange Trail at Ogden and Ruth Livingston Mills State Park. Be aware of snakes along this trail.  We observed a large black snake slithering under a rock when this was placed.  Perhaps a hiking pole or a stick would be a good tool here. 

White Killarney flowers are part of the rose family of flowers. These flowers were popular within the region especially in fall floral shows. The White Killarny flowers, though in the rose family, do not look like traditional roses, and somewhat resemble marigolds. They are under the category of hybrid tea roses. These flowers can also be pink. Ogden Mills entered these flowers often, and in November of 1909 won first prize.
