Geocache Description:


GOING  BATTY #17

 

Welcome to my new Bat caches.  When I lived in Missouri during the summer of 2003, I worked at Ozark Caverns within Lake of The Ozarks State Park. Ozark Caverns has remained mostly natural as there is no lighting installed in the caves, which makes it a great habitat for bats.  I learned quite a bit about bats and wanted to create a few bat puzzle caches: the "Bump In The Night" for Snag The Tag is the perfect time to do it too.  

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

 

Bat Fact #17

 

INTERNATIONAL BAT APPRECIATION DAY

 

Each year International Bat Appreciation Day reminds us of the roles bats play in our daily lives. The observance is an excellent time to learn about the role bats play in nature. Since bats are considered “insectivorous” creatures, they rid our world of many annoying insects. In one hour, a bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes.
