The largest land snail ever found was 15 inches long and weighed 2 pounds!
Snails' bodies produce a thick slime. Because of this slime, they can crawl across the edge of a razor and not get hurt.
Some snails have been known to live up to 15 years.
Snails are hermaphrodites which means that they have both male and female reproductive organs.
Snails usually travel in irregular paths, often traveling in a circle.
Snails reply mainly on their sense of touch and smell when finding food because they have very poor eyesight.
Snails cannot hear.
Snails can retract one or both of their tentacles at a time.
Because of the suction created by their slime, a snail can crawl upside down.
Snails are nocturnal animals which means they are more active at night.
Garden Snails mainly eat garden plants and vegetables, but they will also eat decaying plants and soil.
The fastest snails are the speckled garden snails which can move up to 55 yards per hour compared 23 inches per hour of most other land snails.
Garden snails hibernate during the winter and live on their stored fat.
Garden snails breathe with lungs.
The garden snail is cooked and eaten as a delicacy called escargot, and May 24th is National Escargot Day.
About the cache: 1) You will need to go to the posted coordinates, (If you park in the driveway that says "32 High Trail" on the driveway marker, and "32" above the garage, you are at the right spot!) and gather information in order to complete the cache. As the cache states above, this is more of a mystery than a puzzle. Paper and pen may help.
2) Please stay in the grass around the house. Do NOT go past the pine trees into the neighbor's yard. There is NO NEED to go into any Poison. If you think your coords are telling you to go there.... use your geosense instead.
3) As Sue of Vinny & Sue said in her log, once you find Stage 1, think in a like manor for Stage 2.
4) If all else fails, knock on the door. If we are home, we can help. Even if you don't need help, you can still knock and say "Hello."
NEW NOTE 5/26/15: Cache also contains a photo and codes for our 5 non-trade Travel bugs/coins, for discovery. Enjoy, and cache on!!
