We’ve all been out of breath on the hunt for a cache. This cache is here to remind us of some of the structures involved in the respiratory system. I’m making a special invitation to the Harney Middle School students to solve the puzzle and find the cache.
This is a hike in the desert so please be attentive to the important things: water, critters, humans who camp out here. I think it best to travel in groups and with adult supervision for junior cachers. I drove my pickup to within a few dozen feet of this one, but I’m not sure how legal driving around this old gravel pit is.
