Geocache Description:


THIS IS A KIDS CACHE! Kids are authorized to take an item without leaving anything in trade. Please mention in your log if the contents start running low - I'll come out and replenish it!
The cache is a lock 'n lock container stocked with kid-friendly items hidden near the Creek Side Trail on the Audubon Trails Ozarks Nature Reserve, a 60-acre nature reserve owned by the Ozark Rivers Chapter of the National Audubon Society. The Reserve is dedicated to education, with a commitment to habitat restoration and preservation. When completed, the Reserve will have over 4 miles of trails that will traverse 5 distinct ecosystems including a dolomite glade, tall-grass prairie, oak savannah, upland oak forest with 2 stands of shortleaf pine, and a spring-fed riparian zone. A trail map of the nature reserve is available at (visit link) We recommend following the trails rather than bushwacking; all of the caches on the area are fairly close to the trails.

I was originally going to call this cache "What's That?", because, as I was preparing to hide the container, I spotted something nearby that caught my interest - it was an ammo box, only a few feet from where I was going to hide this new cache! Turns out it was an unpublished cache that was placed last year! Since I took the ammo box to return to the owner, if I called it "What's that?" no one would have any idea what I was talking about, so I decided to name this cache after the trail it's on. So you can ignore the name on the cache container and the log book. I'll get out there and change it at some point...

Permission to place this and other caches on the nature reserve has been granted by the Ozark Rivers Chapter of the National Audubon Society.
