Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates but close by is plenty of parking and you can visit the Brandywine Creek State Park Office/Nature Center. Also check out the old stone walls throughout the park. Entrance fees are charged March through November.

This was originally going to be my Cold Blooded cache but approvals took longer than expected so that cache was done near Smyrna.. When the approval came through, I needed a quick simple name change so this seemed like a good idea.

Members of the class Mammalia are animals that have hair and nourish their young with milk produced by mammary glands. The presence of body hair or fur helps maintain a constant body temperature in the homeothermic mammals. Sinple translation--warm Blooded.

This puzzle shoud be very eazy and if there is any doubts, "Google" should quickly help you. All should be common Delaware wild mammals that many of you may have observed while geocaching.

You can find the cache at:

39 Deg AB.CDE          75 Deg VW.XYZ

To find these values just identify the warm blooded animals and use their coresponding digit value.


If you have trouble with Picture E, its smaller than a beaver with a rat like tail.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Cache location is less than 700 feet from parking.

There is a letter boxcalled "Kite Eating Tree" (covered by sticks) within 20 feet of the cache--make sure you dont log that one by mistake.
