Geocache Description:


The container is wrapped in a camo handkerchief. Please rewrap thecontainer so that no white is showing and re-tie firmly. Logbook (no pen/pencil). The cache will be maintained by friends nearby. Take some time to drive along the road that borders the rainforest. Gamboa is a lovely outpost on the edge of beautiful, healthy forest and is an important site for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. They have offices here and many of the researchers live here as well while doing their research. This is also the jump off point for Smithsonian Colorado Island. You can see evidence all around this area of ongoing forest research (please do not disturb any marked areas or plants). Listen and look for all of the beautiful Red-Parrots (among others) in the area as well.
