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.


True pocket gophers are burrowing rodents that get their name from their fur-lined cheek pouches, or pockets. These pockets are used, like a squirrel’s, for carrying food. However, the pockets on a gopher open on the outside and turn inside out for emptying and cleaning.

Pocket gophers are well-equipped for a digging, tunneling lifestyle, with large-clawed front paws, small eyes and ears, and sensitive whiskers that assist with movement in the dark .Their pliable fur and sparsely haired tails—which also serve as a sensory mechanism—help gophers run backward almost as fast as they can run forward. Their large front teeth are used to loosen soil and rocks while digging, as well as to cut roots.

You are looking for a small lock 'n' lock container with traditional swag.
