My husband, Jim, found a rubber snake and thought it would be funny
to stick it in a place where I would find it. Well, I found it and
placed it where HE would find it. We did that for years and what
started as a joke became an endearment that said "I am thinking of
you." I placed this cache in Jim's memory on what would have been
our 40th wedding anniversary.
It is a large container filled with sneaky snakes of all sizes
and shapes. Be careful that you don't let any escape. One is the
original snake that Jim found. Be careful...the snakes don't bite,
but they do eat log books...so don't claim the cache until you
actually sign the log.
The Lowe-Volk Nature Center is open from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. No
nighttime caching.
Stop in the Nature Center and see the real snakes they have on
display. Lowe-Volk Park is 38 acres in size and features an
award-winning Nature Center, one and one-half miles of hiking

River in Ohio, a picnic area, catch and release fishing in the

Nature Center features a classroom, 17 interpretive nature and
local history exhibits, live reptile and amphibian displays, a bird
