It's common for people to fear rattlesnakes—after all, snake phobias are among the most prevalent in America. These creatures are often depicted as dangerous and menacing in the media, which adds to their mystique. But today, we encourage you to explore this beautiful area, find some caches, and discover more about these often-misunderstood animals!

Rattlesnakes shouldn't be feared because, while they are venomous, they typically avoid humans and only strike in self-defense. Their rattling sound serves as a warning, giving people a chance to move away. Most bites occur when the snake is accidentally stepped on or provoked. Additionally, with prompt medical treatment, the risk of serious harm from a rattlesnake bite is significantly reduced. Understanding and respecting their role in the ecosystem can help reduce fear and promote coexistence.

Fact #1:

Ecosystem Engineers: By preying on small animals, rattlesnakes help shape their habitat. Their hunting activities can influence the distribution and behavior of other species, contributing to the overall biodiversity of their environment!

None of this trail system is on any of the maps I had available. It was fun navigating the old-fashioned way . Cache is in great shape, TFTC!

FTF!

We had plans to surprise the Great Grandchildren as all four of them got off the school bus about a mile from here.

Anyway, had time to look for the two new caches in the area before the bus arrived.

Lots of prairie dogs not happy to see me walking by their town.

Thanks for the cache!
