Come stroll through one of our favorite parks. This cache series will take you on a walking journey around Portner Reservoir in Fossil Creek Park. We live near this park and love walking, biking, and playing in it and on its surrounding trails. The setting is beautiful and serene. We hope you enjoy it too. We've hidden a total of 4 caches in our favorite "dig" locations along the path that circles the reservoir. See if you can find all 4. We hope you enjoy finding each one!

Found with Marmot today while taking a nice evening walk around the ponds and photographing birds and turtles! Somewhat hard to be inconspicuous as there were many people and kids roaming about in the nice weather. TFTC!

Did the full roundy-roundy of the lake today to pick up all 5.
Finished our counterclockwise run here for our 'final'. All in good shape.
