Geocache Description:

This is an easy 2 stage multi cache in a new park in Bothell. This park seems to be very popular, so please be descreet, especially when looking for the final. Park has covered picnic area, playground for the kids, basketball court,and large playfield. This cache contains Lucky Max Travel Bug. He is a tribute to our dog who passed away in 2000. He loved the park and would often steal food right off a picnic plate! PLEASE DISCOVER HIM ONLY!

Cache was inspired by the following Native American story: SPIRIT COUGAR-August 2004 A grandfather was offering up prayers for his people using cedar And his grandson asked why do you use cedar to pray for our people? The grandfather told this story Once long ago there was a village that did not have a medicine man to pray for our people. One day a visiting medicine man came and all listened. But a young boy named cedar was so taken with him that he left his village to follow him Cedar learned all he could from this wise teacher and then became a great medicine man himself But what made him greater than all was his love he had for his people' So Cedar was walking past the edge of a forest one evening and a young man greeted him and urged him to eat with him that night. Cedar looked and saw that the young man had lots of food and so agreed to eat with him. As they sat and ate the young man asked cedar what is it he wants more than anything in the world. Cedar answered I am old, so I will go to my ancestors. But I love my people so much I wish I could stay with them forever. After eating that night the young man again urged cedar to sleep with him and cedar saw a blanket all prepared for him next to the woods, so he agreed to stay The next morning the old man and the young were gone, and where they had shared, a new cedar tree was there. When cedar burns, the blaze reminds us of the cedar’s great healing, but it is the aroma of cedar that reminds us of his great love for his people and that is why cedar is used to pray for the people
