Roadrunner Fun Facts #35 Traditional Cache

This is one of a series of 108 geocaches that I have placed to form a geoart of a Roadrunner. All are spice jars tethered to vegetation. Walking or an ATV are the best methods.If you drive, beware of thorns. There are a few fences. You can walk from the I-10 parking area. By vehicle, take the first exit west of the Border Patrol checkpoint (Lazy E) and go west a few miles to a road to the right to a dirt tank. Park here or enter by vehicle.

The roadrunner is an unusual looking bird. They have a long upright body with a long tail that sticks almost straight up. Their head is an oval shape with a long straight black beak. Their feathers are usually a brownish black with white stripes and spots. Their feathers are sleek and laid back. They usually weigh about 8-24 ounces and their length is usually about 20-24 inches. Roadrunners usually stand around 10-12 inches high. Their feet are zygodactyl, which means two toes point forward, and two point backwards.
