Geocache Description:

An easy find in E.C. Lawrence Park

This is our first cache! It's a sister cache to "Yorkshire Yankee Doodle (GCJH67)" that we helped place with our friends in North Yorkshire, England.

Best place to park is in the neighborhood just to the east (Henry Pond Ct), or near the northwest corner of the woods on Walney Park Dr -- bushwhacking from the visitor center on Walney is not recommended.

After 9 years in its original location, the cache was moved in April 2013 to a location closer to the current trail and not quite as blocked by dozens of fallen trees. Should be an easy find, about 40' off the trail (and accessible via traces of a former trail).

Be sure to walk the entire Woodland Trail loop -- there are some really nice forest views in here, especially in spring and summer.
