Geocache Description:

"I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown"--from "Red Roses for a Blue Lady"


This cache is the 5th in an 11-cache walking series placed over a 1.1 mile stretch located between Blue Course Drive and the Penn State Blue Golf Course.  The series is designed to be family friendly with easy to find hides placed near an established path or paved walk.  Each cache is named after a song with the word "blue" in it.  If you happen to be feeling blue, may the walk lift your spirits.

Much of the path goes through gentle woods of maple and oak trees but some sections are in full sun (when the sun shines).   From parts of the path you can see Mount Nittany.

Most of the caches have logs that are micros set within small or medium containers for waterproofing and easier finding. I've listed most of the sizes as micros since most don't have room for trade items. Please take your own pen or pencil. The hint below is a giveaway.

"Red Roses for a Blue Lady" is a 1948 popular song  that has been recorded by a number of performers.

You're looking for a small camouflaged peanut-butter jar . Don't be stumped.

Enjoy your walk.

(Though my husband, JBT, knows nothing about this cache, I have asked him to be disqualified from the FTF lest anyone think he had advance knowledge.)

Congratulations to mattressgnome for the FTF!
