Geocache Description:


Shel Silverstein poems have been a childhood favorite of ours.  We always thought using one of his poems would be fun. We finally found a spot and a poem that go together. So here we go! We hope you have as much fun finding this one as we did creating it. Happy Caching!

Carmichael Community Garden parking area opens its gate at 6:30 am. From the other direction is Jensen's Botanical Garden. It is open from sunrise to sunset. We had our wedding pictures taken in the garden almost 23 years ago!

Fun Fact: Hidden on Twos-day 2/22/22 at 2:22 pm. 

FTF goes to ...... Linda#1, rvls and rvjn! Congrats!

It seems someone put a "throw down" where they thought it should be. It's not in the first place you'll look. Please don't add another container. Some were signing the wrong thing.
We also increased the difficulty rating because you will need to use a little imagination. Ponder the Poem.

Update: 01/11/2025 - Replacement container slightly bigger so a bit easier to spot. Please only remove the bottom portion to remove the log. 
If you like this cache, consider giving it a favorite point. Thanks and Happy Caching!
