Geocache Description:

Introducing Florida's FIRST CHIRP-powered cache! This is a Mystery Cache due to the fact that ONLY CHIRP-capable GPSr's can be used to bag this cache. The high difficulty rating is only due to GPSr requirement. The following Garmin GPS units are compatible with chirp: *Oregon 300, 400c, 400i, 400t
*Oregon 450, 450t, 550, 550t
*Dakota 20
*GPSMAP 62s, 62st, 62sc, 62sct
*GPSMAP 78s, 78sc
*Montana 600, 650, 650t
*eTrex 30
*Rino 610, 650, 655t
*Astro 320

(***NOTE*** As of 1/5/11 At least SOME Colorado GPSr's with software version 3.25 Beta or above should be able to recieve CHIRP signals, although Garmin states that the recieving range will be LESS due to the difference in the circuitry. Check on Garmin's site for further info or updates!)

The coordinates given here are NOT the cache coordinates.


The listed location here is for the "Citrus Springs Byrd Sanctuary". Once you get to the listed area, begin your search for the very rare Garminimus chirpalarmtous bird which has never been seen, but can be heard if you're close enough! Step into the clearing at GZ and be prepared to linger in the area for few minutes to pick up the "song".
Listen closely and "read" the lyrics you pick up. He will tell you where the cache is!

You will ultimately be searching for a small ammo can full of swag and there will be a nice prize for the FTF finder(s)!!!

***NOTE***

Please do not search for the actual "bird" or try and remove him from the area, as he will NOT be able to be altered from his original "song"!

********* CONGRATULATIONS to ggcook for their very intense and persistant attempt, which did finally get them this special FTF on this FTF (First Time in Florida) Cache! **********
