Welcome to the Bushy Tail Series. Most of these caches are located
in the Kemet Wildlife Enhancement Area. In 1998,Boy Scout Troop 159
of Simpsonville staged triple Eagle Scout projects here. They
developed a nature trail, placed tree identification plaques along
the trail and set up bird houses throughout. Over the last few
years the area has gotten pretty ragged and in need of some
attention and visitors. We are attempting to bring it back to life.
What better way than to invite geocaching into the area. With the
CITO program and the general community spirit found among
geocachers, the park should regain its vitality.
There are six Bushy Tail caches plus a Bonus cache. There is a
bonus number on each log. Use these to find the coordinates for the
Bonus Cache located elsewhere. Please return cache to its original
position. No SL no :P.
Some advice from the “Squirrels”, “Run around in the woods and have
fun!”
Tree Identification Plaques
Ten plaques are placed randomly along the trail by the Eagle
Scouts. These markers have the common name of a nearby tree on it
and a number above it. Your mission, should you elect to take it,
is to find all ten names and their associated numbers. Match them
to the proper scientific name and letter below. When completed, you
will have the latitude and longitude for the cache. There is a
slight discrepancy with one of them, so use Shag Bark instead of
Southern Sagebark when looking up scientific names.
