This is an ammo can placed in a park not too far off of a trail. In fact, some of the trail is cement, but fairly rough since there are rocks placed in cement at just about every angle with edges jutting out. Be careful of thorns and poison ivy. When I was scouting this area out a couple of weeks ago I ended up getting it myself. The area and trail isn't infested, but the stuff exists.
The cache is placed at the above coordinates. There is a combination lock on the ammo box. Actually, the combo lock is from when Mal used it on her locker in high school. You will have to figure out three questions to obtain the numbers to open the lock. Of course they aren't in order, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. After each answer to each question there is an equal sign and a number. Choose the right number and use it in the right place on the combination and you will open the ammo box. The questions are as follows:
1. What was the highest mountain in the world before Mount Everest was discovered?
a) K2=25
b) Kanchenjunga=19
c) McKinley=23
d) Everest=26
e) Cuzco=29
2. Farmer Higgs owns three pink pigs, four brown pigs, and one black pig. How many of Higgs's pigs can say that they are the same color as other pigs on Higgs's farm?
a) 2=14
b) 0=16
c) 5=13
d) 3=10
e) 7=8
3. Gus and Joe are raising pigs. Gus said that if Joe would give him two pigs, they would have an equal number. But if Gus gave Joe two of his, then Joe would have twice as many as Gus. How many pigs do each have?
a) Gus had 8 pigs, and Joe had 12 pigs=3
b) Gus had 12 pigs, and Joe had 16 pigs=4
c) Gus had 10 pigs, and Joe had 12 pigs=5
d) Gus had 10 pigs, and Joe had 14 pigs=1
e) Gus had 13 pigs, and Joe had 15 pigs=2
I just love the thought of Gus raising pigs. Afterall, he loves the bacon juice on his vittles in the morning.
Remember, when opening a combination lock like this you have to turn it right then left then right to open.
There is an unactivated geocoin in the can for the First To Find.
