Geocache Description:


Love them or hate them, Ground Squirrels (A.K.A: Prairie Dogs) are present in most of Colorado and can be seen frequently on the Hidden Mesa Trail. At the coordinates, find the sign about Prarie Dogs to answer the following questions to get the coordinates: 

 

N 39° 24.ABC, W 104° 47.DEF

A - How many "prairie dog adaptations" are shown?

B - How many prairie dog "pups" are shown in the Nest Chamber?

C - The amount of prairie dogs in the picture + the number of snakes in the picture.

D - The amount of "prairie dog ranges."

E - The answer to part "A" x 3.

F - The number of bullet points under "Can Praire Dog colonies survive?"

This should be a relatively easy puzzle and a relatively easy hide to find, however, PLEASE watch your step! This is a rattlesnake area with multiple cacti and yucca plants. Please be careful! No need to BYOP and the cache has plenty of room for TBS and swag. Have fun finding!
