Not another Altoids tin, this cache will take you to the confluence of two waterways, a bike path, and a rail line. Birds of many types frequent this secret spot. Mostly you will see waterfowl but keep your eyes open for raptors as well. I have noticed that an Osprey frequents the area of the nearby park. Look for him hovering in the sky in search of prey on the ground. Here's a link to a YouTube video of him (her?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbpTtIKd2YY Suggested parking is at the baseball park mentioned above.

#280 Another nice little walk to GZ. This one made my day. As has become our custom, Smoochersmom looks there and I look here. Then we switch. Normally she will find it where I looked. This time I was the winner (and it was cammo. Smoochersmom always finds the cammo). TFTC TNLNSL

My camo spotting eye is broken today. Mysts99 had to pull this one out of the spot I had looked at twice. Good friends, that are willing to share caches are worth their weight in gold 
SL THX 4 the hide!!

Nice and easy walk along the trail. Parked at the baseball park. Thanks for the hide. Camo blends in nicely.

Out with team Rand without Ginney for this one. There were lots of ducks and the great Blue Heron was there. Wish we had Ginny with us as we were stumped and ready to give up. One last go and TAA DAAA! It was just out of reach so we hadn't looked there. Finally found it. TNLNSL Thanks for taking us to this spot and for this cache.

We had to look for awhile before finally spotting this one. Thanks for the cache.

This has been on my list for a while. Last time I was in the area, it had just gotten disabled. So I find myself nearby and so I stop and take a nice cool walk to the cache. Thanks for the hide.

Much better luck this time. Whipped out the newly added MB TOTT from the arsenal to get to GZ quicker and confirmed that its a well concealed cache that is tougher to spot with low light. Thanks! #3897

It’s funny how some locations attract cachers. This is the second cache that I’ve found on this otherwise out of the way corner. This time I was not in a hurry so I had tome to enjoy all the fowl in the waterways, they seem to like the cool weather as much a I do. Thanks for the fun!

Finally got it once I'd figured out which box. GPS was off some which didn't help. Kids wanted the flash light but had nothing to trade so it's still there. TFTC.
