Warning! Cache is not at listed coordinates! Welcome! This is one
of the six “Emily’s Quiz” caches placed in Chapman State Park. This
is a series of mystery caches involving finding the scientific name
of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and trees in the
Chapman State Park area and then matching a letter in either the
Genus or species of the scientific name to a corresponding number
to come up with the coordinates for the cache. The letter/number
combinations are posted in the Park Office (located at listed
coordinates) at the entrance to the park, so to figure out the
coordinates for the actual cache you must stop at the park office.
The office is open from 8am to 8pm on Friday and from 8am to 4pm
every other day of the week. All of the caches are 7.5in x 5in
Tupperware containers so large items will not fit but most travel
bugs will. This is the amphibian quiz. Use this link to obtain the
correct scientific names: http://pawild.net/pasurvey/species.php N
