This is the first of several caches I am planning for the Orchard City, Colorado area.  This one brings you right to "city center" for a short rest stop.

I like to think that Orchard City  is a little like New York City, done Colorado style.  As New York City has its "boroughs", O.C. has them too:  Austin, Cory, and Eckert.  Together, with all the farm land that surrounds them, these small communities comprise the 11.45 sq. mi. Orchard City.  In his story, "How Three Communities Became Orchard City",http://www.orchardcityco.org/index.aspx?NID=26 young Preston Benson gives the historical background on this Western Colorado "city".

Our first cache here is a micro, well camoflaged, in this neat little "Centennial Plaza Park" which is located near the Orchard City Town Hall. Congrats to skibum1 and W0RHZ for the FTF
