Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are bogus of course. To find the true location, you must read this little story about Mary.


We all know Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece as white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, that lamb was sure to go....

However, Mary had some other animals with her as she and the lamb travelled north to the market one day. She had the same number of bears as lambs but twice as many loons. With her was the same number of wolves as loons and each one of those was paired with a mackerel. Completing the groups was as many doves as bears and wolves combined. (N50 24._ _ _)

Later that day when she travelled west to visit her grandmother, she had twice as many bears as before and half as many loons. There were four times as many bobcats as loons and half as many rabbits as bobcats. There were as many caribou as bears. The lamb though was no where in sight.... (W104 34._ _ _)
