Geocache Description:


How to solve: You must complete the Adventure Lab within Phoenix Park to get the coordinates for this bonus cache. If you haven't tried Adventure Labs, (We were very resistant at first but now love them) they are a lot easier to do than you might think. Download the Adventure Lab app and try it!

Info on the area: Fair Oaks Recreation and Parks District is very proud of its National Natural Landmark, the Phoenix Park Vernal Pools. What is a vernal pool, you ask? Its a temporary wetland. There are 3 distinct stages. So depending on when you go to find this bonus cache will determine what you will see. Either an aquatic stage, a waterlogged terrestrial stage or a drought stage. Its pretty amazing that many of the critters here can only live at this location. Take some time to walk around but stay on the trails please. Come back to see all three stages (especially if you're here during the drought stage) and see if you can spot some of the different creatures that call this place home. 

While you're here, try doing the Earthcache too!

Cache: It should be free of muggles for the most part, but if not, take a nearby seat and wait a moment. You might need a tott to get the log out. BYOP. Replace as found.
