Geocache Description:


This cache is placed next to The Great Auk Memorial on Fogo Island. The Great Auk memorial is a gift given to the people of Fogo Island by The Lost Bird Project. It was placed to recognize the tragedy of modern extinction by immortalizing North American birds, which have been driven to extinction in modern times.

The cache was placed in Joe Batt's Arm as this is my home town, a place that will always be in my heart. Our family really enjoys time here and walking the trails around the island.

The cache is located approx. 2.5 km from the parking lot next to the local ball field. The trail is fairly well marked. There is one decline on the trail that may be a little tricky when wet, so be careful when attempting it.

The cache itself is a small lock and lock container and contains a nice 2010 geocaching pin and some small trade items along with the normal log sheet and pencil, but it would probably be a good idea to bring your own.
