The Cache:
The cache is located at the city park. In 2010 a local couple chose the perfect tree on the slope of the walking trail and gathered their family and friends as they wed on a hot sunny day. Then, on their 10th wedding anniversary they pined a small horseshoe to the tree as a token of their continued love.
