Geocache Description:

This is the second in a series of caches that we will be placing along the nearby snowmobile trail. Keep your eyes out for new ones as they pop up!


A short hike near the Thunderbird Trail will bring you to this cache. It is a standard sized cache and will be on the State of MN land along the trail, NOT on private property.

The thunderbird's name is said to originate from the belief that the beating of its enormous wings causes thunder and stirs the wind. The Lakota name for the thunderbird is Wakį́nyąn, from wakhąn, meaning "sacred", and kįyą, meaning "winged". TheKwakwaka'wakw have many names for the thunderbird, and the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) called it Kw-Uhnx-Wa. The Ojibwaword for a thunderbird that is closely associated with thunder is animikii, while large thunderous birds are known as binesi.
