Long Description
(Cache coordinates represent 38 minutes of WAAS
averaging.)
[Upgrades: The park is getting a major upgrade! All the
old playground equipment is out and new playground equipment is
coming in! The tennis court and T-ball field is very much usable.
Watch here for details and new photos.]
Located in a city park, the last 20 feet to the cache is
difficult. This cache is not accessible by bike or stroller though
a bike or stroller can be used to get very close. An able-bodied
adult is required to help children to the cache (my 7 year-old
needed my help). It would not be a good idea to attempt this cache
after a heavy rain. Please be careful!
The cache container is an ammo box with an official Geocaching
label. This cache includes a reusable camera so please take your
picture and replace so I can post your photo. The cache also
includes an official Geocaching log book and a few other fun
items.
As in any city park, the city maintains the park and tries to
keep the park free of litter. And as in any city park, the park can
use our help. This is especially true right in the vicinity of the
cache. In the cache box will be a garbage bag (most of the time).
If you have the time, we appreciate your help keeping this park
clean.
So why call this cache Butler's Booty? This cache is located in
Little Rock's Butler Park; that's the first part of the name. The
second part is in jest and refers to what we believe pirates call
their cache. In today's context it makes for a funny name.
The park is dedicated in memory of Colburn Butler. I haven't
quite found out yet who he was but I do know he was related to
Richard Colburn Butler, Senior, the man who donated the money for
the park. Richard Butler, Senior was a prominent man in Little Rock
who passed away in 1999. From the information I've read so far, I'm
guessing Colburn Butler was Richard Colburn Butler, Senior's
grandfather (or an earlier generation).
Here are some related link's to information about Richard
Colburn Butler, Sr.
