Come out for a day of caching on the Heritage Trail, and learn a little bit about the naming of animal groups
Crowds of creatures are often given silly names. We've all likely heard of many of them, but some are less well known. This series is designed to get you outdoors hiking and caching, and to provide a little trivia knowledge about those clusters of animals.
A STAND Of Flamingos
The pink or reddish color of flamingos comes from carotenoids in their diet of animal and plant plankton.
**Cache at your own risk**
All caches placed with the enthusiastic permission of Brian Preston, Executive Director, Dubuque County Conservation.
Geocaching, hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities involve risk to both persons and property. There are many variables including, but not limited to, weather, fitness level, terrain features and outdoor experience, to be considered prior to seeking a cache. Be prepared for your journey and be sure to check the current weather conditions before heading outdoors. Please exercise common sense and caution.
Please note that there is a trail fee.
Please pay it; it's cheap for a day of fun and helps maintain this wonderful location.
