2017 Metro Parks GeoTrail - Rocky Fork Traditional Cache

Park in the Millstone Picnic Area at Rock Fork Metro Park. This large cache can be reached without leaving paved surfaces. After locating the container, don’t forget to sign the log. Cache contains the needed implements to complete the task.  There is room for SWAG and travel bugs. Dog friendly. Be sure to check out the other 19 caches that are a part of this year’s Metro Parks GeoTrail!

Educational Cache Info:

Dr. Peggy LeMone found that when she counted cricket chirps during a 13 second interval, then added 40, the results closely adhered to the actual air temperature. Are crickets trying to tell us the temperature? Noooo. The male crickets are trying to attract females. But, because they’re cold-blooded, they chirp faster when it’s warmer!
