Geocache Description:

Join the hunt for the Syngnathus fuscus!

Though this creature is rare in this region, I tracked one to these coordinates.

Begin your hunt by finding some of the tools you'll need to catch S. fuscus. They are in a camouflaged cache hidden above head height (for me anyway). A flashlight would also be helpful.

S. fuscus is known to prefer dark and damp places, and tries to hide as far as it can get from areas of human activity. It may disguise its appearance to blend in with its surroundings. It is very small.

Once you've found the tools, start your hunt on a bearing of 10º TN.

Once you are finished, please return the tools to their hiding place. The S. fuscus can be released back into its home, but be careful to release it gently! Happy hunting!

Please note that the camo material will separate from the lid, this is intentional, just handle with care
