This cache located along the Tutelo Nature Trail will take you on an interpretive journey through multiple lanscapes. This trail will tranport you closer to the natural side of life. Though just 0.7 miles long, we recommend you take the oppotunity to slow down and connect with nature. For those interested in learning more about the wildlife and plant life you may encounter along the trail, we suggest you stop by the visitor center and pick up the Tutelo Nature Trail self-guide pamphlet. It may just help you along your geocache adventure.
This cache is part of the Virginia State Parks Travel Bug Hotel Adventure. Each participating state park has a unique cache for this series.
Participating Parks: Douthat, Machicomoco, Seven Bends, Natural Tunnel, Occoneechee, Chippokes, and Bear Creek Lake State Parks. Find all the participating VSP Travel Bug Hotels to earn a trackable Green Darner Dragonfly Geocoin. Green Darners are one of North America’s largest dragonflies. They feed on any insect smaller than they are. While their destination remains a mystery, green darners migrate in swarms so large and dense they show up on radar. They are true travel bugs!
Coins will be available while supplies last.
This cache is a specially themed hotel and will contain a logbook, pencil and some small trade items. Most parks require a small parking fee while geocaching. For more information go to: http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/parkfees.shtml
