Geocache Description:


A quick, two stage multi-cache at Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve.

Picture Canyon is a great place to hike, watch wildlife, and geocache! During our many trips to Picture Canyon, we have seen mallards, squirrels, a snake, and elk! Picture Canyon is home to an Arizona Watchable Wildlife Experience (AWWE) site. While in search for this multi-cache, you will learn about the wildlife at Picture Canyon. For additional information, here is more information from AWWE's website.


At the posted coordinates, there are two information signs about wildlife at Picture Canyon.  To find the multi-cache, we will focus on the sign with the title "Wetlands Welcome Wildlife"

A - The number of mallards + 1 (age of mallard does not matter) on the sign

B - The number of rabbits on the sign

C - Find the last sentence on the sign.  Count the number of words after the phrase "...sit quietly and" 

D - The number of raccoons on the sign

E - The number of bird(s) on the cattail 

F - The number of birds flying (their wings are spread) on the sign

 

Field Check!
A + B + C = 15
D + E + F = 6

Stage 2 (final stage) is located at N 35 13.ABC W 111 33.DEF
Cache is a micro.  Be sure to bring your own pen.  Please use stealth and replace as found!
