Geocache Description:

Readily accessible in a high muggle area...Enjoy the artistry of the landscape. It is constantly evolving... DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE AND POST IT!!!

Don't be fooled by the name...the poor Bird Cat was victim to a falling tree during a wind storm...the cat is gone, but the new cords take you to the box...there's your hint!!!

The name says it all. This is a collaborative effort with a local artist, Vincent Massaro, an environmental artist, who's yard is always a work in progress. His artwork can be seen in several other locations- one example located at N 43°09.316' W 077°34.944. You will often find the Vinny at work and can have a conversation with him. He is not a geocacher (yet) but doesn't count as a full fledged muggle. WE BOTH REQUEST THAT YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF in front of your favorite part of his yard, POST AND EMAIL YOUR PIC. There is a SINGLE USE zoom/flash camera for the FTF.

There is a related cat (also created by Vinny) and geocache at N 43° 09.689 W 077° 30.326. Another interesting yard to explore!!!

Applause, applause, to Team GeoGriffin for the FTF.

And thank you, Staghorn for pointing out I had the other artwork located in Spain...all is good now...it's back in the neighborhood!
