Geocache Description:



This is the bonus cache for the Garlyn Petting Zoo Series. Use the animals that you found along the way to find all six caches to solve the puzzle. The animals are sometimes hard to identify and is why it is a puzzle cache, so ask your kids and use the link on the cache page Geochecker.com to check your answers. The cache is probably by far the largest Texas sized ammo can you have found which is filled with stuffed animals. It is preferable to trade another stuffed animal, but is not necessary. In fact if you don't have anything to trade, please take one anyway for the kids. This is a cache series designed with the kids in mind, it would be a great way to introduce them to geocaching. All seven caches are within a few miles of each other. There are a couple of shallow creek crossings, but your shoes should stay dry.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

The final cache location is:

N 46° 05.ABC W 085° 19.DEF

A = The corresponding number of the Animal found at Garlyn Petting Zoo-Flowing Well Road
B = The corresponding number of the Animal found at Garlyn Petting Zoo-Strickler Truck Trail
C = The corresponding number of the Animal found at Garlyn Petting Zoo-Spung Truck Trail
D = The corresponding number of the Animal found at Garlyn Petting Zoo-Old Stage Truck Trail
E = The corresponding number of the Animal found at Garlyn Petting Zoo-Ridge Road
F = The corresponding number of the Animal found at Garlyn Petting Zoo-Orchard Hill Road

This cache is meant to be found, so I made it a little easier and I put a second way of solving the puzzle listed in the Hint below. You no longer need to visit the other 6 caches in this series to solve.
