GC1WXJ9 The Roost (Traditional Cache) in Florida, United States created by mvb0002

This cache has been archived.

Obilon: I just can't find the time to check on / replace this one, nor, after all of this time, am I sure I could remember where it was placed. Time to open this up for new opportunity! Thanks to all who came, found, and smiled! Special thanks to the original CO, mvb001

Geocache Description:

You are looking for a camo match tube so BYOP.

Please replace as found!

The upstairs roost is currently not occupied at the time of this cache being published.

The other roost on this same pole is lower and I am not sure if it is occupied or not. (if anyone would know it would be amtg)

These creatures are being threatened by a disease called white-nosed syndrome or WNS. This disease has already killed
500,000 to 1 million of these flying mammals.

This roost is located in the Chapman Pond area.

If you want a nice view of Chapman's Pond go to the left of the parking area and there is a covered observation area and table to take shelter from the sun or other elements.

Use stealth as needed.

Best time to get this one is at dusk and you
can see the bats flying out of the "roost" to
get dinner. I have seen this and it is an
awesome sight.

During the daytime you can sometimes hear them screeching.

I have included a waypoint for parking.
