Location: SpyderCo's St. Edward's Park

Difficulty: 1point5stars Terrain: 1point5stars

Comments: Hubby (who hasn''t chosen a name yet) and I set out after the rain let up, around 3:30, on what turned out to be a beautiful Easter afternoon. We broke in our new Garmin GPSMap 60C without any software and just followed the coordinates displayed--worked like a charm. Absolutely wonderful park (never been there before). We didn''t cross the water, and instead used the path located on just the other side of the stream overpass. Cache was in a great shape, even with all of the rain. TOOK: a Geocaching pin (#3 on back). LEFT: a stuffed dolphin toy. If you get a chance walk around this park and check out the waterfall and fabulous little paths. --Carpe Bicallis (Eat Your Veggies)
