Geocache Description:

**Adopted by Jennifer&Dean on Aug. 10, 2011. Thanks to DairyMedic for going through the work of setting it up.**

This is a Critters themed cache. All trade items have something to do with critters. Our GeoDog, Heidi, helped to place this one. Critters Cache is a standard ammo can, but cannot be seen without some searching. It's location should be obvious to any Geocacher.

Park at the Bear Creek Trailhead. This cache is very near the Bear Creek Falls. It actually overlooks it. It is 1.44 miles from where I parked to the cache, using the track log for real distance, since I'm not a crow! The trail is pretty good, although rocky at times. My three year old made the hike with three rest stops taken going both ways. The falls are nice, but cannot be seen adequately from the trail. I encourage getting a little closer. In fact, during the summer, there is a very popular deep water swimming hole in these falls.

The rest of the DairyMedic team would like you to say what your favorite critter is and why when you log your find.

Congratulations to XC Tracker for the FTF! They marked the following coordinates for the cache, 46*22.897 114*16.755, saying that they had 40' accuracy. If one doesn't work, try the other, then use the clue.
