Geocache Description:

Welcome to Ralph's Pantry

When I first moved to this area I had to commute on the nearby highway. I carpooled with another biologist who also has a good eye for spotting raptors. Every morning for well over a year, rain or shine, there was a light morph, Red Tailed hawk perched on one of a series of fenceposts. We named this bird Ralph. Of course, being biologist, we were not sure that it was the same individal but it made for great conversation on our commute.

You will notice that there a alot of raptors or birds of prey in this area. These vernal pool/rangelands are very productive areas for small rodents, rabbits, snakes, small birds, etc. Thus the title of the cache.

Whenever my wife and I talk about this area, we refer to it as Ralph's Pantry. For example, "There was a fire in Ralph's pantry today", or "the police were in a high speed chase today and it ended with the perp crashing in, running off into, and trying to hide in Ralph's pantry." (True Story!) Look around Where was he gonna Hide?!?!?!

The Cache is an cammo ammo can. Please hide/return cache when finished.

Peace!
