"Unique" container that has a pen and is big enough for swag and travel bugs. This cache is dedicated to a character from Star Wars. He talks funny and lives in the swamp. Can you guess his name? Cache is in plain sight.
Though Perry Lakes Park is largely swampy, this cache was placed high and dry in the woods near the Round Lake Trail. You'll have to walk into the woods for a ways but hopefully you shouldn't have to get your feet wet. No camo whatsoever. You'll know it when you see it. Enjoy this beautiful area, and Happy Hunting! When hiding the cache I did not see any poison plants and minimal thorns, but they may emerge later in the year. Be careful and keep your eye out for snakes too.
The following description of the park is taken from the pamphlet sponsored by the Birmingham Audubon Society. web address: www.perrylakes.org
"Perry Lakes Park, including the adjacent Marion State Hatchery woods and ponds and the Barton's Beach Cahaba River Preserve, is 800 acres of mature hardwood floodplain forest, oxbow lakes, swamps, sloughs, streams, hammocks, and high ground environs.
The Park contains 7 miles of interpretive nature trails. Approximately 5 miles of trails are converted fire lanes (marked in red). Two miles of trails are primitive footpaths (marked in blue). Several trees have been designated as Alabama State Champion Trees. The Park lakes support a large heron rookery along with an abundance of songbirds. A 100-foot tall canopy birding tower allows for an exciting view of the forest and oxbow swamps. The Prothonotary Warbler, also known as Audubon's Swamp Warbler, is the signature representative of Perry Lakes Park."
The Bird List includes 206 species. Picnic areas and restrooms available. Daytime only. The gate is locked at night.
