Angels and airplanes, but not aardvarks! Butterflies and
bumblebees, but not bandanas! Cicadas and chickadees, but not
calipers! Dragons and damselflies, but not dandelions! Eagles and
egrets, but not elephants! Well, I think you get the idea....from A
to Z, our cache is for Winged Things....take one/leave one, just be
sure it has wings!! In order to get to it, there is a cleansing
stop you must make, but we're sure you'll enjoy the little side
trip. If you run into trouble, just look for the wings!!
At N43° 15.633, W077° 46.496, stand with your back to the
setting sun. We chose this location carefully, so before you go any
further, close your eyes and simply listen......if you happen to
visit on a day with any breeze at all, you'll hear the sweet call
of at least four species of our winged friends as well as the
calming sound of a dozen chimes or more (you know, I'm sure, that
every time a bell rings, another Angel gets their wings)......
we're sure you'll enjoy the beauty, peace and calm! When you're
ready, speak with "our special angel" as she is the only one who
can provide you the information to find your way from here. She
will confide in you two years - take care to record them properly
as she will not be able to guide you in person.

Recalibrate a new waypoint at N43° AB.CD2 and W 077° WX.YZ2 for
that is the true resting place of the winged things you seek.
You will (hopefully!) swiftly arrive at a park with plenty of
parking, playground equipment, open spaces and activities of all
sorts, so feel free to bring the family. We believe you can trek
directly to the cache straight as the crow flies if you so desire,
but we placed it after wandering about the system of nature trails
that lie at the rear of the park - your approach is up to you! It
should provide you a comfortable yet enjoyable outing and we hope
the unique contents bring a smile to your faces. Hints can be found
below, but let us hope they are not needed!
Note: this is a black, 50-caliber ammo can, filled with winged
creatures both real and whimsical!
