Roadrunner Fun Facts #1 Traditional Geocache

This is one of a series of 108 geocaches that I have placed to form a geoart of a Roadrunner. All are spice jars tethered to vegetation. Walking or an ATV are the best methods.If you drive, beware of thorns. There are a few fences. You can walk from the I-10 parking area. By vehicle, take the first exit west of the Border Patrol checkpoint (Lazy E) and go west a few miles to a road to the right to a dirt tank. Park here or enter by vehicle.

A bird born to run, the Greater Roadrunner can outrace a human, kill a rattlesnake, and thrive in the harsh landscapes of the Desert Southwest. Roadrunners reach two feet from sturdy bill to white tail tip, with a bushy blue-black crest and mottled plumage that blends well with dusty shrubs. As they run, they hold their lean frames nearly parallel to the ground and rudder with their long tails. They have recently extended their range eastward into Missouri and Louisiana.
