Takes less than an hour  Available at all times  Available during winter  Thorns  Stealth required  Park and Grab 

  A couple of years ago I had a though that this might make a good cache but circumstances conspired against me and it has taken some time to actually construct and place this beauty.  Now, beauty is definately in the eye of the beholder but I think this one rates (at leaste in my eyes). If nothing else it is durable and will probably last for a good long while or until until someone decides to put a subdivision on this corner. 

  The name comes from a little guy who I came across when I was going to place the container.  He was sitting on the white line at the side of the road in an apparent state of distress.  When I stood next to him he tolerated my presence and eventually consented to letting me push him to a safer location off the pavement and into the roadside ditch.  He then crept into the culvert that was near by before Animal Control could be contacted.  Leaving the road kill praire dog at the entrance to the culvert I went on to place the cache.

 

Congratulations to Fork L Man on the First Time Find.

Look carefully at the listing, and figured there was only one place it could be! Sure enough. Hadn't seen one of these in a while.

Out for an early morning (chilly) bike ride from Boulder with this as my goal. Obzocebbs, indeed! I almost gave up, container was wedged very tightly and I could not get any leverage.. Probably the most sturdy cache setup I've ever seen. Good for a fave. Hope the bird made it. SL.
