Geocache Description:

Coords are as solid as I could get them at this time of year with all the foliage. You should find the coordinates to be evergreen. Long pants would be recommended as there are several varieties oft thorny plants & trees back here. When in season snacks are available at GZ (mulberry and raspberry).


Believe it or not, I found this container laying about here in Lebanon. Not sure how it got here as I'm pretty sure they're not migratory. I suppose that a bird such as a swallow might have brought them, but not sure how. Our local European Swallows (we call them Barn Swallows on this side of the pond) might have brought them, but they're too small to have done it solo. An African Swallow would have been big enough, but they are also non-migratory (and this isn't Africa). Perhaps two barn swallows worked in tandem to get it here, gripping the husk with their feet and carrying it between them....

You'll need to bring your own writing utensil for this one. It's big enough for SMALL travel bugs if you're careful. I've left one there to start things out. There is also a FTF tag for the first to undertake this quest (it's not to find Camelot as that's a rather silly place). Please make sure the outer container is latched before you depart the area. LOTS of plant & tree species back here for you naturalists- aspen, mulberry, cedar, honey locust, raspberry, nettles, burrdock.... Also some CITO opportunity along the way. A bit of bushwhacking will be necessary, but that's intentional to reduce the chances of the container getting muggled.
