This cache is a medium Lock N Lock (1 Liter), it can hold trade items and Travel Bugs.

This cache is located near Morse, the town motto is "for the birds", all services are available.

The Reed Lake Bird Lookout is located on the edge of the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve. The shallow Saskatchewan lakes are very important locations for all shorebirds in North America. You can tune your FM radio to an informative broadcast about the area as you drive through Chaplin, another excellent place for shorebird watching. There is an interpretive center in Chaplin and in the summertime it offers a nice free stop for the family and some excellent information about the importance of these lakes to all shorebirds but it is closed in the winter. The lookout on Reed Lake allows unrestricted year round access to travellers. You can walk your dog here or just make a quick stop. This is one of the best spots in Western Canada for watching shorebirds and in the summer there will likely be visitors with binoculars. If you want a chance to add the Piping Plover to your list of birds seen, this is one of the places to do it. This cache is the only cache located in this area, the nearest caches are almost an hour east or west, GCJXZQ or GC2641.

The Sand Castles Cache GC1566 only seems to be conveniently located to this cache, it isn't.

This cache was placed was to help TB's move along the Trans Canada by dropping the geogap between Moose Jaw and Swift Current. If you drop TB's off in this cache remember, as a courtesy to owners, refer to Travel Bugs by name or TB tracking code and do not list tag numbers. A log entry mentioning the direction of travel will also help move TB's quickly.

When you locate the cache, please do not disturb the hiding spot, the next geocacher is relying on that happening so they can complete their search successfully. I have marked this cache as winter accessible but substantial snow cover may affect the cache, this area is not noted for heavy snow cover. I have marked the cache as stealth required, the binocular tower and the highway are in "plain" site. Please let others know how you feel about this cache by making an entry in the online log here on geocaching.com.

The clue is a spoiler, nothing cryptic. If you want to seek do not decrypt the clue. Cache contents at placing log book, pencils, cache note. Tim Coupon ($5), Disposable earplugs, streamers, puzzle ball, small ziplocs x 5, magic tree, new Tupperware fridge magnet/picture frame, 2 Travel Bugs heading east.

i've been known to do a wavector now and again. i've even dabbled in the occasional birds cache or two. but i must say i couldn't find it the first time because of the snow and even this time i'm thinking no he wouldn't use that kind of camo. sure enough i get closer and the camo i thought was real was apparently fabricated. by far my favorite birds cache yet (not quite done them all yet) thanks

I drive by here many times a week. Finally had time and had a smaller vehicle to stop and catch this one. SL TFTC

Back home after an awesome visit with my son in Nelson BC, and taking every opportunity to find a cache here and there as we drove back home to Ontario. SL TFTC
