Ode to JayBirder: Once upon a time, there was a challenging cache called JayBirder's Roost GC209W3. Ten years ago, our family spent many fun days following this trail in search of the Mourning Dove. JayBirder placed many caches developed from his hobby of bird watching... Songbirds, Hawks, Waterfowl, Forest birds and wading birds frequent this area. The journey started with preliminary clue caches: Call of the Barred Owl Cache GC209RD Killdeer Field Cache GC209VE Kingfisher Point Cache GC20XRT Noisey Crows Cache GC20Y8J Woody the Woodpecker Cache GC20YAH Wild Turkey Glade Cache GC20YA6. This was our first introduction to the “Wolf River Environmental Restoration Greenway Trail System” and the surrounding 2200 plus acres of Bottomland Hardwood Forest. 

You can add a smiley by finding this cache. There is a log, SWAG, a pencil, and a FTF prize.

For those that would like to continue the journey, there is a FIELD Puzzle that leads to another cache! Please DO NOT TAKE THE FIELD PUZZLE or any of its pieces. It is clearly labeled. Please return everything as you found it so those behind you can enjoy it. There is a bench nearby where you can ponder the puzzle!
