Owl Prowl - A Night Cache Mystery Cache
BarbershopDru: Dang nab it...what's up? Hey watchlist, another Dru ammo can lost in the woods. Never sure how it happens, but I am not placing another one here just to keep this cache alive.
Plenty of room in the Wetlands for some awesome cache hides.
Thanks to all "WHO" visited.
Happy Trails, and good bye....

As I have hiked in this wetland many times over the years, I have come to hear the owls in the area.
Long before there was Geocaching, there were Owls. In these wet-woodlands, you will be able to hear Great Horned and Screech Owls. But only if you are quiet and remain so for awhile. So, settle back, find the cache and then turn off your flashlight and remain still for a bit. See if an owl comes calling.
If it is a lucky night for you, they will, if not so lucky a night, then hopefully you will at least gain a smiley!
After a rain, this area is WET and MUDDY….hence the name Klydel Wetlands.
In the late spring, summer and early fall……..there are a bazillion mosquito’s.
In the winter as the snow melts…it is MUDDY! Boots are a good idea here, no matter what the season!
All year round there are deer and owls.
To find this cache follow the fire tacks. Two tacks will point out the START and a turn, three will be the final location. There is a trail to follow all the way except the last 20 feet, so please use it. The red trail will take you most of the way in, but not all the way. The fire tacks are on your left going in and on your right going out.
So NO bushwhacking will be needed until that last 20 feet!
A Night Cache rule that I did not know about:
"You as the owner of the cache must visit the site and obtain the coordinates with a GPS. GPS usage is an essential element of geocaching. Therefore, although it is possible to find a cache without a GPS, the option of using accurate GPS coordinates as an integral part of the cach hunt must be demonstrated for all physical cache submissions."
“This cache has been placed with permission from the Buffalo Audubon Society, contact person Paul Fehringer, Senior Naturalist. WHILE SEARCHING FOR THIS CACHE, PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL AS MENTIONED. Dogs are not allowed on any of the preserve trails. For information about the Buffalo Audubon, please check out : www.buffaloaudubon.org.
As always, please respect the environment while doing this cache. Walk gently, replace sticks, logs, rocks and anything else that you move, exactly how it originally was. Some animal may call that object their home! Please leave as little impact on the natural flora and fauna as possible. Thank you!”
