Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!

This one is located in the Pylypow Wetlands, a newly created nature sanctuary in the middle of an otherwise desolate industrial part of the city. The man-made lakes are surrounded by paved trails and should attract all types of feathery creatures.

Cache is an Ammo Can.

FTF prize is a $5 Tim's Card.
