A quiet marsh and a plain woods
The Tsuruta-numa marsh is an agriculture reservoir and a bog in Utsunomiya City suburbs.
This marsh is called "gourd marsh (Hyotang-numa)" by the local people from its resemblance to the gourd.

This marsh is known as a habitat of Hachotonbo (Nannophya pygmaea) that is a minimum dragonfly in Japan.
To protect nature near the urban area, a local National Trust activity by the citizens is done here.

It's my first cache that I hide.
You can find easily, but please spend your relaxation time in quiet marsh and a plain woods.

------- Japanese below ---------
鶴田沼は、宇都宮市の郊外にある、かんがい用のため池と湿地帯です。
この沼の形から、地元の人たちから「ヒョウタン沼(池)」と呼ばれ、親しまれています。

この沼は、市街地の近くにも関わらず、日本最小のトンボであるハッチョウトンボの生息地としても知られています。
この市街地の近くに存在する豊かな自然を守るため、市民によるナショナルトラスト運動が行われている場所の一つでもあります。

私が初めて設置するキャッシュです。
見つけるのは簡単かもしれませんが、静かな沼と平地林でリラックスした時間をお過ごしください。

Found it.
After the business trip , I had a time to find.
Walking from "Tochigi Prefecture Central Park" and the day was declining.
I could hardly find the entrance to the Pond. And I walked around the pond with only the hand-light.
As I found the cache, there were very silent and dark.
Thqank you for the cache.

出張ついでに寄りました。
栃木県立公園のキャッシュから歩いて来たので、到着する頃は既に日は落ちて池への入り口が分からず苦労しました。入り口を見つけてからもハンドライトの明かりを頼りに池の回りを。キャッシュに着いた時はあたりは真っ暗で、とても静かな雰囲気でした。

素敵な場所にキャッシュをどうもありがとうございます。

わりと簡単に見つけられました。
しかし、途中、池の周りにお花と線香が。。。
夜は、怖そうですね。
車を止める場所を探すのに苦労しました。
