Very quiet walk to cache with nature sounds and an airplane overhead, once in awhile. Cache is not visible to the muggles.

This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you've got sharp eyes you'll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you'll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky.

Finally out here with my bike so I hit a couple trails and picked up some smileys. Brief visit to Denver and got out before the storm. Stamped log. So many caches, so little time. Thanks for your effort to place this cache and all the fun I had finding it. Don't Drink the Kool-Aid! Pura Vida! Live, laugh, love, cache.

After returning from Seattle, I had to hang around the airport to wait for @WindAtMyBack to arrive. She ended up on a later flight.
I drove over here to grab as many of these caches as possible. I saw an owl and f hawks (maybe less with one or two that returned to check me out.)

Set out today with NTM at about 10am to hike and grab all 31 of the caches here along Buckley Road. Surprisingly, we found all of them. We returned to the car just before 4pm, so it took us about 6 hours to hike the ~11 miles. Mostly because we saw every type of wildlife that we could have imagined: eagles, a coyote, a fox, hawks, falcons, finches, rabbits, prairie dogs, deer and buffalo. One of our most successful days of caching ever, most of these caches were found in good condition. Thanks to everyone who placed these caches.
