Geocache Description:


Placed in the woods behind a building know for being called a synonym of  'gargantuan' and the bird known to represent the United States. 
This cache is hidden in the line of a popular December song, 🎶 over the River and through the woods 🎶, about 10' in from the edge of the pavement. 
It's been a while since I hid a cache and this seems like a great time and place for one!
Owls are my most favorite animal! Here are some fun owl facts to commemorate the hide and stick with the theme! 
 

  • There are around 200 different owl species.
  • Owls are active at night (nocturnal).
  • A group of owls is called a parliament.
  • Most owls hunt insects, small mammals and other birds.
  • Some owl species hunt fish.
  • Owls have powerful talons (claws) which help them catch and kill prey.
  • Owls have large eyes and a flat face.
  • Owls can turn their heads as much as 270 degrees.
  • Owls are farsighted, meaning they can’t see things close to their eyes clearly.
  • Owls are very quiet in flight compared to other birds of prey.
  • The color of owl’s feathers helps them blend into their environment (camouflage).
  • Barn owls can be recognized by their heart shaped face.

Parking is abundant but absolute stealth from muggles is required!! You are looking for a small pill bottle, covered in black duct tape, hidden rather well, and it contains a log and some owl stickers! Make sure you bring your own pen. 
 


Happy caching!!
