Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This cache is in a semicommercial location as well as a private residence. Feel free to enter and pay or not during the season. If there are dogs about, they are friendly to people but not to other dogs so please keep dogs in your vehicle. If the residents should appear, take a moment to chat, you will not regret it - and take advantage of what is offered during "the season," May and June. Available when the gate is open, which is nearly all the time during daylight hours year-round.
This is one of a baker’s dozen of caches placed in Osage County, the largest county in Oklahoma. Osage County, particularly the western part, has been a black hole to geocachers. I have tried to remedy that with this effort. All portions of "The Osage" are shown, from its lush river bottoms through the hardscrabble rocky hills to the spectacular grass prairie. The caches are meant to be done in numerical order that you may end within 10 miles from whence you began. You can run the sequence forward or in reverse, starting at any convenient point. Osage County is quite large and in many sections rather devoid of civilization, so it might be advisable to start with at least half a day to spend and a reasonably full gas tank The caches vary in size and I have tried to put them in places of interest, both historical, scenic, and/or informational.
When English born Molly Bivin came to this little town, a vestige of the oil boom in western Osage County, she took one look around and said “No bloody way can I live on this stone pile!” Or something like that. At any rate, Bivin Gardens is the result of years of labor, love and water. You will find both Molly and her garden a real delight, and during the “growing season” is well worth the few bucks donation asked to walk through.
The town? Quietly going about its business of being the kind of friendly little town off the beaten path that is a great place to retire, or raise kids, or just live the gentle life that folks in the big cities can just dream about.
