This is a five-part Ladera Ranch multicache, centered on a
distinguished, yet often unappreciated critter. The stages follow a
well-maintained, meandering walking/jogging/biking path. The
terrain varies from hard-packed dirt to cement to grass. Round trip
is approximately 1.7miles, but don’t let that scare you away!
The path is not lit at night, so be alert if night caching.
At the above coordinates, you will find the first stage. Use the
immediate area to answer the question below to be able to move on
to the next stage and question. Please do not overthink the
questions; they are easy!! At the fifth location, you are looking
for a well-endowed 13cm x 10cm x 3.5cm metal container. No need to
step off the path to find this one. Please do not take any of the
critters in the cache.
