I'm Not Poisonous Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ARONK76: Well, I finally got out to check on this one and it is most definitely gone. It even appears that the tree that was used may have come down during a storm this last summer while I was away. Sorry to those that have been making attempts at this one and to those that never got the chance to find the cache.

Geocache Description:

The cache is in a very popular park for biking. Years ago I used to come here all the time and mountain bike. They have done soem great things with the park since then and I am glad it is one of the few places that has not fallen to developement.

Please observe all park regulations, park is open from Sunrise - Sunset. I have provided a recommended waypoint for parking.

The "Ivy Green" by Charles Dickens

Oh, a dainty plant is the Ivy green,
That creepeth o'er ruins old!
Of right choice food are his meals, I ween,
In his cell so lone and cold.
The wall must be crumbled, the stone decayed,
To pleasure his dainty whim:
And the mouldering dust that years have made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.

Fast he stealeth on, though he wears no wings,
And a staunch old heart has he.
How closely he twineth, how tight he clings
To his friend the huge Oak Tree!
And slyly he traileth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves,
As he joyously hugs and crawleth round
The rich mould of dead men's graves.
Creeping where grim death hath been,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.

Whole ages have fled and their works decayed,
And nations have scattered been;
But the stout old Ivy shall never fade,
From its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant, in its lonely days,
Shall fatten upon the past:
For the stateliest building man can raise
Is the Ivy's food at last.
Creeping on where time has been,
A rare old plant is the Ivy green.
