Regan (age 4 1/2) and Peyton (age 2 1/2) want you to follow the clues to find out what happens to their very hungry little caterpillar…..

Drive through the Spillway Park parking lot and park near the end of the parking lot by the turn-around.

Take the trail down the hill behind the rail fence and follow the path along the river and across the foot bridge.

Peyton's hungry little caterpillar is hiding under the bridge, behind some rocks.

Now turn back a bit to find what happens next to our hungry little hero!

Take the path heading away from the river.

Choose the railed bridge and walk to the rabbit rock.

Go under the nearest “robot” and across the bumpy bridge.

At the Y in the path, look straight ahead to find a gnarled piece of driftwood.

Regan's caterpillar’s surprise is hiding in the tall grass, at the base of the wood, beneath some rocks, near some irrigation pipe.

Be sure to re-hide the boxes well. Lots of people enjoy watching the birds, bugs and beasties that live here.

11/19/10: It looks like Peyton's Caterpillar has been washed away--we'll try to get it replaced when we can. Regan's beautiful butterfly is right where it should be!
