Whether you realize it or not, the Kinzua Dam is a great place to spot our national symbol-The Bald Eagle. Particularly in winter time when most lakes and streams in the Northeastern U.S. freeze over, the outflow below the Kinzua Dam is always open water and the Eagle population increases dramatically as Eagles frequently fish the open waters. Check the photo gallery for a sample of what you might see during the event.
The event cache involves a series of temporary caches placed in the Big Bend Recreation Area adjacent to the Kinzua Dam. The Caching With The Eagles event is being held on Saturday February 5th, 2010.
Geocachers will meet at the Big Bend Visitors Center located at the posted coordinates above to sign the official logbook for the event cache, trade travel bugs, swap geo-stories, and receive coordinates for the temporary caches. There will be at least half a dozen temporary caches placed along the trails that those in attendance may find as they wander around the Big Bend Recreation Area.
If you are also interested in real bald eagles, there will be three spotting scopes setup for visitors to check out eagles in the vicinity of the dam and tailwaters.
This will be a normal geo-event with the logbook, travel bug exchange, and temporary caches being available from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM. Hot chocolate and cookies will be available at the visitors center (while it lasts). So come out, see a few eagles, enjoy meeting up with some of your caching friends, and grab a few temporary caches. What else would you want to do on a cold Saturday in February anyway?
