Designed to acquaint you with an interesting locality that features
unusual fowl. BEWARE of passing cars!
A cache for the BIG birds. The cache was originally located on the
farm's property, but they've since had a change of heart, so it's
merely nearby. (Thanks to Camo Cacher who reinvigorated this cache
with the most recent placement!)
 This oddball stop along a busy stretch of local
highway offers up close and personal visits with emu, and
telescopic visits of ostriches (the owners once told me the
ostriches are WAY too territorial to share their space with
tourists...something about collecting eggs with a pickup truck for
quick getaway).
Stop in for a free view, take photos, and ESPECIALLY take time
to LISTEN to the emus, if you can find them beyond the new solid
fences! They make the ODDEST sounds...(I suspect some of these
sounds were used in creating effects for "Jurrasic Park"). For a
quarter you used to be able to get a bit of feed and let kids feed
a true Big Bird, but visitation is by fee, now, and so is feeding.
(If you find it, you MAY want to hold your own hand over your
children's, lest the birds get too fiesty in their pecking!)
When you're finished with the emu, you MAY want to log your
visit in our container which memorialized the original "ant
infested" cache.

Nope. It's not in a flashlight, so you didn't find it. We'll be down that way Thursday and will try to check it out to make sure it's still in place.

DNF. A tough climb down and back. Found an empty flashlight with lamp part separated from the battery part - no contents. If this was the container, it needs maintenance. Otherwise, TFTC. Let us know if we really found it. Thanks.

Visiting from Ohio in possession of the "Wangler Vs Civic" TB, we wanted to exchange it for another TB to travel back with us.

Saw the birds from the road on the way into Solvang. The cache container was field with plastic-bugs so our TP - black widow fitted perfectly into the cache. TFTC
