Roadrunner Fun Facts #48 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.

Because of its lightening quickness, the roadrunner is one of the few animals that preys upon rattlesnakes. Using its wings like a matador's cape, it snaps up a coiled rattlesnake by the tail, cracks it like a whip and repeatedly slams its head against the ground till dead.
