Geocache Description:

CORRECT COORDINATES MUST BE OBTAINED BY ANSWERING WITH THE CORRECT ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS ABOUT FISH.


This lake is a sacred space for me and is full of fish and wildlife. Out on the lake you may just see some fish jumping! They do that alllll the time here. Closer to the shore there are tiny little fish. This area seems to be a small estuary. There are tons to the right of you if you look down. I found that they love Betta fish food pellets. So this cache is all about feeding the fishies.

This is a nice spot to sit and hang out for a while. I have left some portions separated of fish food in colorful little containers that you can feed them with if you want. Please let me know when the containers are empty so I can refill them. Do not take the little containers or throw them away. I have also included some trinkets for trade and a log book.(***IMPT NOTE***Please do not feed more than one little containers worth of food. This may be overfeeding and hurt them instead of help them.)

Thanks and enjoy my lake!
