Bonewop Traditional Cache
cajrrman: I went to check on this cache today with a replacement in hand. I did not find the cache and discovered that the area is quite overgrown compared to the last time I was there. Since it was quite a bit harder to get to ground zero, than it was originally, I decided to archive this one.

Bonewops were previously thought to be extinct but I saw long haired red one while placing this cache.
Bonewops were so named because of their strange clublike feet that were often used to konk predator animals on their head to fend them off. This was purely a defensive action since the bonewop is a grazing animal about the size of a beaver. Its favorite food is puncturevine. Perhaps the increase in the amount of puncturevine in Colorado is what has brought them back from the brink of extinction. Watch out for puncturevine, by the way. These are the plants that produce goathead thorns that are the bane of many bicycle tires.
For some really peculiar reason, it is common to see very unusual animals near this cache. Besides that red bonewop I saw, I have also seen a parfer, a floober and a grindleflick in the area as well. Please log what you "see" and describe in as much detail as you can. A photo would be great!
