This cache can be done as an extension to Caphouse Capers - Going Underground cache (GCG2D4) 

After Caphouse Capers - Going Underground continue your stroll along the nature trail which is ok for buggies and then up the steps to a picnic area overlooking the reed beds and bird hides ... be careful you're not being watched ;-)

If you follow this cache and the next in the series Caphouse Capers - The Settling Ponds (GCTBA) you will end up near the start of Caphouse Capers II - All Hope is not lost II (GC5AM2H )
