Piping Plover Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Frolickin: I was in the area today and decided to check up on this one.

Well, it seems like this cache has gone up to the big cache in the sky. This was probably too heavily trafficked to have lasted long.

Geocache Description:

Along the coast is a beautiful nesting area for herons, egrets, piping plovers, and other shore birds.

The cache is a blue-lid Gladware container hidden in the middle of a nesting area for shore birds.

There are many approaches. One could do a cache-and-dash from a parking lot. I recommend coming from the Cape May Point Lighthouse Trek cache or stroll up from Cape May. Either route will not disappoint.

There are several butterflies that are awaiting their release. If you take one, please e-mail me which one you take.

This is a protected area, so please do not rummage off the trail.

The piping plover migrates from northern South America to Canada. They fly non-stop from South America (unless they stray to Bermuda) to feed in this area. They will more than triple their weight b4 they move on. They feed on horseshoe crab eggs.
