Geocache Description:




This cache is in a public park. I recommend you park west of the cache unless you feel like swimming in Cat Creek. There is no trail but it's a fairly easy walk over level ground. Curfew is 12 AM to 5 AM. The cache contains several items to trade.

Pecan (Carya illinoensis) is a Hickory native to the southern United States which has been tranformed into an important cultivated crop tree. It is also planted as an ornamental. The fruit is a thin-shelled, sweet, edible, red-brown nut, in a green husk, up to 2.5 inches long. The tree has a gray-brown, deeply furrowed bark. The leaf is dark green, long and pendant, with 9 to 17 narrow, finely toothed, slightly curved leaflets, each growing to 6 inches long. The male and female flowers are both small and without petals, clustered in catkins. Pecan is a large tree, largest of the Hickories, growing to about 100 ft mature height. Its wood is more brittle and has fewer uses than similar species. Its habitat is moist forests and valleys.

--Congratulations to Agent Okie on the first to find, and without a GPS!--
