Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at posted coordinates


 

PERSONAL STORY:

I made this geocache to show some monarch waystations (Vital places for monarchs to get what they need.) My family has always been big into helping raise monarch butterflies. In 2021, my family raised more than 200 monarchs and released them into the wild. I hope this geocache will educate more people about monarchs and native milkweed. For more information, feel free to message me!
