An Interesting Little Park (and a cache!)

After visiting the Clifton Burying Ground I headed down to Rovensky Park on Bellevue Ave. Rovensky Park is owned by The Preservation society of Newport County, the same people who run the famous Newport mansions. The park serves as an arboretum, with both native trees and exotics represented. There's also a geocache hidden here, and it was my main reason for heading down there today.

There are gravel paths through the park. Let's walk for a little.










The next shot is of the general area where the cache can be found. I was a little puzzled by the name: The BIGGEST Micro. Micro caches are usually just a sheet of paper (the log you need to sign to say you've been there) rolled into one of those plastic containers for 35mm film. Imagine my surprise when I came to the spot, found the hiding place, and discovered the cache - an ammunition box! But the box was filled with dozens of those plastic containers, each one with a piece of paper inside for a finder to sign. Now that's creative!


Now we come to one of the exotics - a stand of Japanese Cedars:




Near the Japanese Cedars are some Baldcypress. The trunk on one of them has always fascinated me; it looks like a refugee from Fangorn Forest:





Time to go home for lunch. As we go back up Bellevue Ave., we say farewell to Rovensky Park.




Thanks for coming along!
