ABOUT THESE CACHES:
We so enjoyed putting out the K & P Ticket series, that we thought we would continue along the trail. This time, the theme is the fauna. If you see any of the animals, birds or reptiles mentioned, please feel free to take pictures and post them at the appropriate cache – but please, for a change, NO PHOTOS OF EACH CACHE (sure, the log if you have to).
BIKING is possible for the whole trail, though one little section (near White Tailed Deer) is rough, so you may need to walk it – depending on your bike tire size. This trail is NOT recommended for thin tires!
If you don’t see any fauna, then you are caching way too fast! Enjoy the ride and enjoy the habitat of so many little and big “critters”.
BONUS: At each cache in this “Fauna” series, check for a clue for two more bonus caches (GC4M5RT “K & P Fauna – BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEE, and GC4M572, “K & P Fauna – RACCOON”). Make sure to keep a note of each clue (bring paper/pen maybe?).
EASTERN CHIPMUNK
The Eastern Chipmunk is a small ground squirrel. It has reddish-brown fur with a white belly and a white stripe, bordered by two black stripes, on each side.
Eastern Chipmunks grow up to eleven inches long.
This animal lives in open woods, forest edges, and brushy areas. They dig burrows up to ten feet long. Usually the main burrow has enlarged cavities for storing food. Inside the burrow, chipmunks will build a nest with leaves. The entrance to the burrow is a hole about two inches wide.
Eastern Chipmunks breed in early Spring. They only have one litter of three to five babies.
PARKING: The trail for these caches is on a 6 km stretch between Ferguslea Road near Hwy 132 (N45 26.028 W76 44.676 – the posted Coordinates for CHICKADEE) and a cross over at Pucker St. (N45 22.813 W76 45.118 – the posted coordinates for RACCOON). You may park at either end but the parking at Ferguslea is much better as there is more room for vehicles. In summer bring bug juice and water!
