This micro is just off the Clear Creek bike trail in Prospect Park. A beaver has been busy in this area.

A departed friend of mine, Jon Tuttle, told me about his uncomfortable experience with beaver fever (giardiasis). From that point on, he was very careful to filter his water on backpacking trips -- unless he was getting water from melting snow on steep hillsides.

Beaver trivia: Beaver testicles were used as a pain reliever by native tribes. The beaver transforms salicin (from willow tree bark) into salicylic acid, which acts like aspirin! Beaver testicles were an indian trade item -- but please don't leave any in this cache!

Look for something the size of a 35mm film container. Log only. BYOP.

We don't want beaver fever or beaver pain releaver. But we enjoyed the cache.

There were a lot of mosquitoes that were doing their best to distract us from finding the cache but we prevailed. TNLN, TFTC.
