Geocache Description:

Don't be fooled by the end-of-the-road, park-and-grab appearance of this cache.  There is no guard-rail here, and you may have to step back and re-think your whole approach.  This is our fourth cache, and we hope you enjoy them all.


Jack is a young boy living in Rib Mountain with his widowed mother and a cow, who is their only source of income. When the cow stops giving milk, Jack's mother told Jack to take the cow to the River Drive Farmer's Market to be sold. On the way, he meets an old man who offers beans in exchange for the cow and Jack makes the trade. When he arrives home without any money, his mother becomes furious, throws the beans on the ground and sends Jack to bed.

A gigantic beanstalk grows overnight, which Jack climbs to find a land high in the sky. There he comes to a castle that is the home of a giant. He asks at the door for food and the giant's wife takes him in. When the giant returns, he senses that a human is nearby:

Fee-fi-fiddle-dee-fasher!

I smell the blood of a Geocacher!

Be he alive, or be he dead,

I'll grind his bones to make my bread!!

Jack is hidden by the giant's wife, and he overhears the giant counting money. When the giant sleeps, he steals a bag of gold coins and makes his escape down the beanstalk.  

Jack

Fortunately for you, Jack dropped some of his treasure, so it's up for grabs!!  The First To Find gets a $2 bill; There is additional booty for the next few finders.  There is plenty of SWAG to go around.
