Geocache Description:

This cache is being placed at Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center for MAGC: M&G Camp Over. SORRY NOT DOGS ALLOWED


You are looking for a micro hidden in a very unique container.


These coords will take you to the trail head. From here you will need to follow the fire tacks. WHITE in RED out.
If you are doing this by day you will still need to use the white fire-tacks in.

Philippe has run away from home & is hiding from his long time mate, Phyllis.

It seems that Phyllis has “hen pecked” her mate for so many years that he has decided to “fly the coop”. During the 2009-2010 migration, Philippe made a “pit stop” at CBEC and had an enlightening conversation with The Great Newt concerning the fine art of camouflage. The Great Newt discussed with Philippe how color adaptation to current surroundings could protect one from dangerous predators and how certain changes in diet might help one achieve such a goal. After some meditation (and a snack of blue crabs & oysters), Philippe has decided to forgo his favorite diet of mussels & is switching to some of the local crustacean cuisine in an attempt to blend in with the local scenery.

With his new found peace, Philippe has also found loneliness and is now considering entertaining some local visitors. For his debut, you are invited to his marshy nest during the CBEC sleepover event on Apr. 17th. ( For this date only, he will be offered as a night cache). The listed co-ords will take you to the trail head. Follow the white fire tacks in & the red fire tacks out. DO NOT deviate from the trail as we will not be responsible for any corpses lost near the marsh! Skeletal remains could possibly be lost forever!

Philippe's only request is that Phyllis never learns of his location. So to help him keep his secret, even in the daylight hours, you will need to follow the white fire tacks, at least to get to his hide. Going out you can choose your own fate. So you are welcome to visit, but please be discreet.

CBEC is open from 9-5 daily except major holidays. There is a $5 entrance fee. Sorry, but there are no pets allowed.

This is a log only cache. Please bring your own writing stick.




***** FTF goes to the bunch of folks who attended the MAGC Camp Over Event. Good job everyone.*****
