Geocache Description:


I have always enjoyed this little urban oasis. There is an observation platform nearby for contemplating the poem which inspired the cache's nickname.

The cache is a small plastic jar wrapped in black tape. Original contents include FTF prize, artwalk pin, afghanni coin pendant, stickers, canada compass keychain, whistle, and log book.

'Riprap' by Gary Snyder

Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way,
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles --
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like an endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
In the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.
