Fence cut by Prairie Dog Liberation Army?
Wildlife Alert

A small cache on the Spillway Trail in Aurora.
This cache is a small cylinder pill bottle, two inches long and 1.5 inches diameter. This area is posted for wildlife, including rattlesnakes, so don't poke your hands into any holes, stay on the trail, and watch your step. It might be wheelchair accessible to a determined cacher with thick tires as long as things stay dry.
Parking at Olympic Park; take care crossing Chambers, it's a double turn.
Photo is of the sign on the trail. There's a quite lovely morning glory bush about 100 foot more or less east of the cache.
I lowered the difficulty rating; it's easy now.
3/31/15: enabled with a new container, a small pill bottle, push and twist. And a slightly new location.

Looked once at the beginning of our trip, walked the mile to the other caches and then gave it another shot on the way back. No luck today...

20 ft from where the map said it was, no log in side to sign. Some tlc on this cache would be nice

Found the cap, no container around. Cache needs replacing but as I'm traveling I have no supplies.

Picked this up along the trail while out biking around. Found a prairie dog skull! Pretty cool stuff, but definitely a good reminder that there are carnivores around haha. Forgot a pen so didn’t sign the log, but TFTC!

Looked around the GZ and couldn't find it. Then I looked out on the "beach" and the cache was sunning itself (see picture)! Then I had to find a place where an old man could get over the fence and I signed the log and put it back at the GZ but there's not much cover there. Recommend the CO visit and place in a more hidden area.

Also found the remains of someone who didn't take the rattler caution seriously!

Sunning on the beach!

The Rattler got him!
