Geocache Description:

Some cats meow and purr. Others scratch and hiss; but, GEO-KATS CAN CHIRP!! That is the Garmin Chirp, wireless beacon, that can communicate with any compatible wireless enabled Garmin handheld. Check at http://www.garmin.com/products/chirp to see if you have a compatible device and instructions on how to use it.

This Chirp cache is a two stage multi-cache. The published coordinates will take you to the location of the chirp beacon. You should be near a gas well site on the edge of the park. The best spot to stand is near the large mound of dirt and the big tree on the side away from the gas well equipment. It sometimes takes a few minutes for your Garmin to pick up the signal. It will download the final coordinates to your handheld. Once you have your final coords; it is not a good idea to bushwhack to the cache, backtrack towards the road and look for a game trail.

spoiler alert.... If you want to do this as a CHIRP cache; do not look at the hint, use your handheld to pick up the signal for the next stage.

open chirping.... if your Garmin and the chirp beacon are not making a connection for some reason; or you do not have a compatible handheld, go to the hint for the coords for the final stage.

OK folks, seems that phones are the popular way to geocache and using actual coordinates is a better way to go. Also, changing the Chirp battery involves old people climbing a tree which is not a good thing. So, let's search at N41 22.796 W 080 19.781.
