About this cache:   You are looking for a bison tube cache along the White Trail at Ogden and Ruth Livingston Mills State Park.

Yellow-belled Sapsuckers perch upright on trees, leaning on their tails like other woodpeckers. They feed at sapwells—neat rows of shallow holes they drill in tree bark. They lap up the sugary sap along with any insects that may get caught there. Sapsuckers drum on trees and metal objects in a distinctive stuttering pattern. If you see neat rows of holes drilled in trees equidistant apart, chances are sapsuckers have been there! 

Note:  if the cache is no longer attached to its host when you find it, please note it in your log.
