Coyote Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Martin 5: [green]We hate to archive our older caches, but as this one had a good life with 478 logged finds, so it is probably time to let it go. We purposely waited until after the Spokane Valley Cache Machine to deal with this cache, as if it was muggled with normal geo-traffic to the cache, CM traffic probably wouldn't help a replacement much. It appears ground zero (under a tree) has become a popular picnic spot, so it seems that any replacement will need to be in a different location. [:p]

Geocache Description:

Cache is a small container suitable for small trade items, TBs, and coins.

While placing this cache we ran across lots of feathers near by. K suggested they were from a bird which had been eaten by a local coyote, and thus the name for this cache.

This is a pretty easy find with two different directions in which to get to the cache. You will have to decide for yourself which way you want to come at if from. Good luck.

The coyote (pronounced /'ka?.o?t(i)/) also known as the American jackal or the prairie wolf, is a species of canid found throughout North and Central America, ranging from Panama in the south, north through Mexico, the United States and Canada. It occurs as far north as Alaska and all but the northernmost portions of Canada. There are currently 19 recognized subspecies, with 16 in Canada, Mexico and the United States, and 3 in Central America. Unlike its cousin the Gray Wolf, the coyote evolved in North America during the Pleistocene epoch 1.810 million years ago alongside the Dire Wolf. Unlike the wolf, the coyote's range has expanded in the wake of human civilization, and coyotes readily reproduce in metropolitan areas. It is thought by certain experts that the coyote's North American origin may account for its greater adaptability than the wolf, due to North America's greater prehistoric predation pressures.
