We will be holding the 10th Annual geocachers picnic at Hudson Mills Metropark on September 7. Watch the Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2013 Picnic Page for more details.

The theme for this year's series is Animals.
The animal highlighted in Dexter Huron is the Dragonfly.

Dragonfly (Dexter-Huron)

Old myths give the Dragonfly scary names like “devils Darning Needle.” But they are not only harmless, they are quite beneficial- to people. If you are a mosquito reading this, then you have cause for concern. That dragonfly cruising the sky at your picnic will keep the biting flies away. The airborne insects make up a small part of the dragonflies diet. The Dragonfly lives only a small part of its life in the sky. The juveniles, or nymphs, spend their lives under water in pursuit of prey, including mosquito larvae.

The cache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged to reduce impact on the environment.
