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!

TFTC!

Found it 05/17/2020 By Desert Rogue
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!

Went back to Fossil Creek for an evening walk with Desert Rogue. This time I was armed with my camera so had plenty of excuses to stop and stand around while people passed by. I was happy to turn this DNF from muggles into a find with Desert Rogue. It was a nice evening to get out and enjoy some cool weather and fun bird sightings. Thanks for the hide!

Did the full roundy-roundy of the lake today to pick up all 5.
Quick find here and in good shape.

Checked the location and the cache is still there. Updated the hint to guide you to it better.
