Inside the cover of each Geocache you will find two words. These
are to be placed on the appropriate spaces of a crossword puzzle
found on the Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2010 Brochure found
here. We will be holding a geocachers picnic at Willow
Metropark on September 11th. Watch the Metroparks Geocaching
Adventure 2010 Picnic Page for more details.
The cache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so
bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged
to reduce impact on the environment.
The Oakwoods Nature Center has been developing a field as a Monarch
Waystation. Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources
necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and
sustain their migration. Without milkweeds throughout their spring
and summer breeding areas in North America, monarchs would not be
able to produce the successive generations that culminate in the
migration each fall. Similarly, without nectar from flowers these
fall migratory monarch butterflies would be unable to make their
long journey to overwintering grounds in Mexico. The need for host
plants for larvae and energy sources for adults applies to all
monarch and butterfly populations around the world.
This cache is located at the edge of the field. On your walk on
the trail keep your eyes open for monarchs. For additrional
