Platte River Cache
Series
This is a series of caches to
highlight a very popular bird watching area.
The central Platte River
valley is an important stopover for migratory water birds, such as
the Whopping Crane and Sandhill Crane, in their yearly traversal of
the Central Flyway. Cranes are among the oldest living birds
on the planet. Fossil records placed cranes in Nebraska more
than nine million years ago, long before there was a Platte River,
which by comparison, is only 10,000 years of age.
These caches have been placed
by 3 families of Geocachers who are all related. We are
hoping that this series of caches will have easy access for
travelers from I-80 and that they will check out some of the other
great caches in the area while here.
Most of the caches are pretty
easy park and grab caches--but we did try to throw in a few that
hopefully will be a bit of a challenge! We have placed these
caches on public property. Please be respectful of the
landowners in the area and please do not cross any
fences.
During the months of March and
early April Muggles will be very present in the area to watch the
Crane Migration. Please watch out for them!!
