Enjoy an easy, scenic walk along a creek and near the ponds in Prospect Park.

You're looking for a camouflaged container.

You may see a lot of wildlife in this park. Today, for instance, I saw a hungry coyote nervously walking across thin ice -- trying to get a goose for dinner. In the spring, you'll find a lot of ducklings and goslings. In the summer, frogs abound. I even found a fox den, with pups, at the east end of this park (near where GC1JGC5 starts). I got excited one day, near this cache, when I saw elk tracks in the mud. I followed the trail -- and saw that my elk had turned into a llama!

This cache is dedicated to a poem called The Rhyme of the Remittance Man by Robert Service. I think of it when I'm stuck in an fluorescent-lit office, yearning for elbowroom, sunshine and fresh air outdoors.

Extra kudos if you can tell us what a Remittance Man is.

Second time we couldn’t find this one recently. We didn’t look too hard though so maybe it’s still there. Didn’t want to brave the poison ivy

It's always nice to see a cache replaced so I can get that frown turned upside down. My signature was the 1st one dated in June.
