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!

 Hints

Stand on the big rock, face south, look down where the dirt meets the rocks. Something is not what it appears to be, half buried by another rock in the ground.

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!

We took the walk around the lake - finding 5 caches.

Did the full roundy-roundy of the lake today to pick up all 5.
A little natural camo here made this one tough for us to spot.
