SKUNK

I'm a happy little skunk named Stinker that lives in Barboursville Park. Most of the other animals in Barboursville Park keep their distance from me. Occassionallly a forest animal or curious dog will try to mess with me though, and I have to teach him a lesson. If you try to get into a battle with me, I'm going to win. I'm known so well for winning, that my name has become synonymous with "a big win". In the game of Cribbage, a big victory is known as a "skunk". A really big victory is known as a "double skunk". If you want to find me, just answer these two questions to find a starting point close to me.

Starting Coordinates: N 38 23.ABB W 82 17.ACD


AB)  A skunk occurs in cribbage when one player reaches 121 points and the other player has not yet reached _________ points. Answer = AB
CD) A double skunk occurs in cribbage when one player reaches 121 points and the other player has not yet reached _________ points. Answer = CD

That should put you fairly close by. Now, to find me, just look to the northeast. You will see a path that enters the woods. Head north down this path for about 220 feet. Look to the left side of the path and search for a tree that has barbed wire in it. Head down the hill behind the tree to the northwest. About 70 feet from the barb wire tree, you will find me resting in a tall, rotted tree stump.

Special thanks to Girl Scout Troop 8357 for hiding this cache.
