Geocache Description:

The Eastern Adams County Geocaching Hunt is on. A wide range of animals call this country their home. You may not find the animals on your visit, and may not want to, but their caching 'cousins' are sure to give you a smiley.


Two species of rabbits are native to Washington and two others have been introduced to the area. Washington is also home to three species of hares: the snowshoe hare and two others, called “jackrabbits.”

Rabbits differ from hares in that female rabbits give birth to blind, hairless young that require considerable attention for their first two weeks of life. Hares are born fully furred with their eyes open, and can hop about within hours of their birth.

Females of most rabbit species create a shallow, bowl like nest called a “form,” and line it with leaves, grass, and fur plucked from their bellies.

Rabbits and hares are most active at dawn and dusk. Because their eyes shine yellow or red in a flashlight beam, they are easily seen at night. Rabbits do not hibernate.

During the day, rabbits rest under overhanging limbs, brambles, brush piles, old farm implements, and junk. In extreme cold or heat, they may seek greater protection by burrowing into snowdrifts or using another mammal's unoccupied burrow.

You are looking for a small ammo box filled with traditional swag.
