Geocache Description:


Depending what time of year you drop by this cashe, there might be a (or a few) slimy trails leading to this spot. This is one of my favorites spots to hike. Often during the fall and spring I will see many, many slugs in this area - hence the theme of this cashe! Read through these fun facts and enjoy the jokes as you travel to this cashe!

 

SLUG FACTS

  1. Slugs play an important role in the ecosystem decomposing vegetation 
  2. A cubic meter of garden can contain an average of 200 slugs
  3. A slug smells with its tentacles
  4. A slug has approximately 27,000 teeth!
  5. A speedy banana slug can move 7.5 inches per minute

 

SLUG JOKES

  • What do you do when two slugs have a fight? Leave them to slug it out!
  • What did the slug say as he slipped down the wall? Slime flys!
  • What's the definition of a slug? A snail with a housing problem!


This cashe has a micro log book, you may need tweezers to get it out. Bring a pen, and enjoy!!
 

This cashe is closest to the Peavy Arboretum parking area but can also be accessed from the Calloway Creek trail with parking on the side of 99W if you are looking for a much longer hike. Lots of trails in this area.
