How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is a 6-stage multi cache w/ 1 micro container ( 1st stage ), 4 small containers and one regular container ( last stage ) located on the grounds of the LBC. The listed coordinates are incorrect. There is a non-activated, trackable geo-coin for FTF.

This cache is dedicated to my “baby” skunkin, Tinkerbell. I was hangin out with her thinking of all the other animals in the world. What are groups of them called? What are the males and the females and the babies called? How much do we really know?

The solution to the following quiz will take you to the first stage of the cache. In the following 4 stages, the containers will contain puzzles to solve to reach the next coordinates. DO NOT REMOVE the puzzle and instructions from the cache container. Unless you have a vast knowledge on this subject or have internet access from your GPS equipment, it would be advisable to take a pen and paper along to copy the puzzle if necessary. You may have to solve the puzzle and then return to the cache to continue.

The cache is completely located on the property of the LBC. None of the stages of the cache are even remotely connected to any of the LBC buildings. The cords should be good enough to prevent you from venturing near them. Caches are all on the grounds—No need to destroy anything—the difficulty rating is due to the puzzle, not to the location of the caches.

I spoke with the security officer and he was perfectly amenable to the cache being placed there: however DO NOT ATTEMPT AT NIGHT. The area is patrolled by the police. Any night caching will likely result in the cache being archived. It is not recommended as a week-day cache due to extreme muggle activity

Cache is kid-friendly but please watch carefully due to heavy traffic at time

No matter what your GPS says, no parts of this cache should be attempted from route 222 south.

This area is beautifully landscaped, quiet and serene. Please be respectful and follow my guidelines so that everyone may have some fun—Thank you.

Except for the first container which is a micro because it needed to be replaced even before I published and the last container which will be the easiest part of the cache and is large enough for TB’s, coins, and trackables, the other 4 containers are all micro and all alike.

(I had to change some info in the last small container (5th stage). If you have trouble with the change it is as follows: D=(d-b) and I=(c-e)

THE QUIZ—Which half is true?

If a group of baby bears is a sloth of cow cubs, then “A” is 2; BUT, if a bed of baby clams are larva, then “A” is 0.

If it is a coalition of cheetah kittens, then “B” is 7; BUT, if it is an intrusion of cockroach nymphs, then “B” is 4.

If it is a herd of dolphin pups, then “C” is 5; BUT, if it is a herd of T-Rex juveniles, then “C” is 2.

If it is a barren of mule jacks, then “D” is 4; BUT, if it is a herd of donkey calves, then “D” is 1.

If it is a flock of flying gander, then “E” is 3; BUT, if it is an army of polliwogs, then “E” is 1.

If it is a kettle of hawk hens, then “F” is 1; BUT, if it is a flock of sea gull hens, then “F” is 5,

If it is a rookery of seal pups, “G” is 7; BUT, if it is a herd of rhinoceros cows, then “G” is 4.
