Geocache Description:


 

Welcome to Covington!

John Wharton Collins purchased the Drieux tract in 1813 and established the Town of Wharton on July 4th. He laid the town out in its unique pattern of squares within squares (ox lots) which were accessed by alleyways, and named the town's center the Division of St. John, now the historic district.

You are looking for a red magnetic bison tube hidden below the knee level.  Stroll through the unique sculpture garden within this little gem of park that is the venue for dozens of free outdoor concerts.  Take a few minutes to rest and log your find beneath the shade of the gazebo at the entrance to Columbia Street Landing.  Music lovers, muggles and meanderers abound in the area, so be as descreet as you can.
