One of the world’s largest collections of flowering crab apple trees can be found at Water Works Park. The Arie den Boer Arboretum was established in 1930 by the late Arie den Boer, a renowned horticulturist. The arboretum includes trees from many states and foreign countries, including varieties that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
The Arboretum contains more than 1,200 crab apple trees, with the youngest trees being planted through a donor tree program. The annual crab apple blossom usually blooms the last week of April and the first week of May, attracting thousands of visitors to Water Works Park.

The cartridge ran well and the location was nice. The only problem is in finding the geocache final. As soon as I got close to the final, the verification code came up and I lost the final coordinates to the geocache. After that it was very challenging to find the final.

Fun Wig in a neat area that is a lot prettier in the summer time. Had to walk in and out of the start zone a couple times to get it to start running. Enjoyed none the less on a 50 degree day of snow melting heat.

Out with some more of the family taking a nice walk around the area and having a picnic in the park, on the other end of the park. After the picnic, we came over here to check out the arboretum by doing this WherIGo. I think the family liked the walk this cache provided, and also just enjoying the nice temperatures we had for today. TFTC
