And on his farm he had some cats...

E-I-E-I-O.

Felix the Cat lives on the farm.

Both Heathcliff and Garfield from the funny papers live here.

Tigger from Winnie the Pooh is here.

The Cat in the Hat was here, and now he has come back.

Tom is here and he is looking for Jerry.

Morris The Cat from the television commercials has retired here.

Stimpy of Ren and Stimpy patrols the grounds.

***************************************************************************

This is a fairly simple two stage cache. You will probably have to drive between stages.

Stand at the posted coordinates and look directly north. The location you are looking at has now closed, but had been around for many, many years. If there are any major changes going on with the grand old structure, let us know in your log.

Again, standing at the posted coordinates, within a five foot radius, you should see a small blue disk, roughly the size of a Quarter Pounder with cheese. On this disk, there are two words: One word is longer than the other. Let NNNNN be the last five digits of the posted north coordinates. Subtract 48 times the number of letters in the shorter word from NNNNN. Then subtract the total number of times the letter E appears in both words. Call this new number XXXXX. Let WWWWW be the last five digits of the posted west coordinates. Add 184 times the number of letters in the longer word to WWWWW. Then add the total number of letters in the both words. Call this new number YYYYY.

The coordinates for the final stage are:

N41 XX.XXX, W088 YY.YYY
