This cache is located within the Loins Den Gorge Nature Preserve County Park on the edge of the Ulao Waterfowl Production Area (UWAP) in the Town of Grafton. Park hours are 6:00am to 9:00pm daily.
On May 22, 2012 - I donated this cache (formerly named Quack, Quack, Gobble, Gobble) to the Treasures of Oz as the UWPA is one of the featured sites for this year. Come visit this great area and explore all this park has to offer. Not only is it a great place to find multiple geocaches, the parks wood chipped trails, spectacular views and diverse wildlife will surly keep you coming back again and again. It has definitely become a favorite of mine so if you see a guy wearing a Live Strong shirt running the trails, wave and say “Hi Jack” as I go streaking by.

I was at the park to check one of my other hides and stopped at this spot to see what I could see. There were a half dozen Green-Winged Teal Mallards on the pond enjoying the seasonal flood waters. On the way back to the car I spotted two turkeys; a tom and a hen; hence the title.
This hide is winter friendly and should be easy to find year round. Enjoy the area and views from this observation deck. Be sure to add your wildlife observations to your post! After your visit, make your way to the bluff edge or even follow the trail to the gorge and lake. You won't be sorry!
