FINALLY! "Launching" NYA Woodland Creature II after original cache damage and now heartbreaking habitat destruction by JSRCC and Dominion Energy.

PERTINENT INFO!!!
*In the photos there is a map to show you how to get to the nature area. It's confusing.
* Recommended trek to the cache is straight down the easement road, hang a right onto the trail at trail intersects and then another right to a lesser trail just past the random picnic table, then a short bushwhack off-trail after you come across a small downed tree across the path. Its possible to go more directly from the easement but that way is brushy, rough with tree-felling debris and blocking logs. My intention is an easy trail walk and mini-bushwhack. But you do you!
* There is no need to detach the delicate "camo" from its location. The cache container can be GENTLY detached from the camo for ease of handling. Replace exactly as found (top up) please! Thank you!
***Sorry but...SPOILER LOGS and SPOILER PHOTOS will be deleted. Let folks find these stray critters on their own.
***WARNING: Please ***watch your step*** in the woods! There can be *leaf-filled HOLES* here where pine trees rotted out and left a cavity. Also "nope ropes" are around. Hikey-pokey pole recommended for solid-ground and snake checks.

This is one of a series of caches placed in a little-known recreation area with a nice nature trail. Get your love-on for NATURE with light hiking in a woodsy setting which will take you to some most unusual creatures quite unlike the typical critters found in Virginia woodland habitats (such as hawks, turkeys, owls, coyotes, snakes, turtles, deer, fox, groundhogs, and blue-tailed skinks). These creatures really seem quite lost and unable to get to their destination as they have been here for 15 years! (Hmmm....SOMEBODY is laying down on the job!)
CITO is always appreciated for the occasional foreign object.
