Plover Field Traditional Cache
ChinaTrekker: This hasn't been found since last summer, so I think it's time to archive it and open up the space. Thanks to all who searched for and/or found this cache. Hope you enjoyed it.

A camoed, medium-sized plastic canister with a twist-off lid. Terrain not bad in the winter, but could be lots of thorns and PI in the summer. Time will tell. No matter where you choose to park, you'll still have to walk about 0.12 miles to get to GZ.
This is the resurrection of a cache I recently archived, "The Dogs Keep Watch." This is the same container with a new log. It has been moved to a new location with a new cache name. The last person to find "The Dogs Keep Watch" cache (after it was archived) was a cemetery groundskeeper. What a nice muggle! He signed the log and left a silk poinsettia blossom dated Christmas Eve, 2008. I left it in the cache for good luck.
When I hid this cache, as I was walking through the field, I saw some plovers (bird family Charadriidae) scampering back and forth across the grass. Not sure of the exact species, but I think they only had one neck ring band. If anybody can identify the type of plover, please post in your log.
During the spring, if you see one of these birds acting like she has a broken wing, that means she's a mama with a family of young'uns and she's trying to lure you away from her babies. Even if you're not normally a birdwatcher, you should enjoy the antics. And watch where you step. Mama plovers like to lay their eggs in the open among the pebbles and rocks.
