Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not for the actual cache, but of a Permaculture Garden that is being planted by the City of Colorado Springs with help from the Solidarity of Hope
(http://www.solidarityofhope.org). The cache is actually located in a nearby open space area.
Congratulations to Hikymuce for FTF.

What is a permaculture garden? A permaculture garden is not only esthetically pleasing, but also one that provides edible fruits, vegetables, and herbs with a low maintenance system. Permaculture mimics nature by using a combination of canopy trees, lower fruit trees, nitrogen fixing trees, and perennial food producing plants to create a Forest Garden. Like a real forest, this is a garden that takes care of itself by providing mulch from leaf drop and mulch plants, insect repelling plants, plants to attract beneficial insects, and grass suppressing groundcover plants. In addition, native wildflowers and prairie grasses are integrated into the garden for low maintenance, insectaries, and drought tolerance. The garden is not yet complete, but a really nice playground for the kids is finished. Parking is available at N38* 49.089' W104* 44.222'. Even with all this rain the fields have not fully recovered from the drought, so please stay on the paved trails until within 12 feet of the cache.

In order to find the actual cache, you will need to find 2 Travel Bugs. You will need either N38 49.aaa (visit link) or N38 49.bbb (visit link) and W104 44.ccc (visit link) or W104 44.ddd (visit link) The aaa and bbb have the last three digits of the NORTH coordinates on them and ccc and ddd have the last three digits of the WEST coordinates on them. When you find one of these bugs you can either leave it where you found it or move it to another cache but please do NOT take it out of the Colorado Springs area. Thanks and enjoy the hunt.

W104 44.ccc and ddd have left the Springs, until I can replace them the West cood is 104 44.337.
