Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Quercus Quest!

To find this hidden cache, seekers are given a riddle as a clue to its location. As you ponder the answer, enjoy the park and its scenery. You might notice something you’ve overlooked before.

 

Strong and Sturdy as may be,

Years and years ring through me.

 

Deeply lobed and deeply loved,

Growing verdantly up above.

 

My children wear a royal crown,

Adorned with scales all around.

 

What am I?

 

(Think about what kind of tree has lobed leaves and acorn seeds. Find the tree that matches this description and you'll find the cache hanging amongst its branches.)
