Geocache Description:

This is my 490th Cache Placement.

The Location above is not the location of the Cache.

Someone left the Gate Open and The Bovines have all gone

Your Task is to find them, then visit the Cache.


Don't you just hate it, you are well into a series, found them all so far, you vault a gate and there they are, like stone statues in the distance, black and white, brown and white or just plain brown, Yes COWS if they are at GZ a guaranteed DNF

A quick mental check on the DefCon scale (mine, you need your own, if in doubt leg it)

DefCon 4. Milkers - No problem then, you could poke them with a stick and they will not bother you

DefCon 3. Cows with a Bull - Bit wary here and don't make eye contact with his wives but keep an eye on him for agitation. (Don't look at him though.) briskly move on.

DefCon 2. Mothers with Calves - Bit of an issue here skirt around them and hope they move away from where you want to go,

DefCon 1. Bullocks - The worst they follow you, they push you, I know they are only inquisitive but they intimidate, and whatever you do don't fall over. I stand and face them waving my arms and stick but they still want more, as soon as you turn around they are on your shoulder. If They are at GZ Just forget it and go on to the next one, they will not leave you alone.

You need to find all 7 Bovine Trackables to find the final location for this cache. (If you click on the icons below you will see where they are) Each Bovine Trackable has a Code on The TB. To find the last three digits of the North and West Co-Ord. you need to record the information. Example : N1is6, N (North Co-Ord) 1 (Position 1 of the last three digits of the North Co-Ord.) is digit 6. ie., N -- --.6--

I Know, I Know, there are 7 not 6, one of them is a Control, once you have the 6 digits NNNWWW you then need to take the action on the Control one to arrive at the final last three digits of N and W, ie., if it says on the Control x 5 then the 6 digit number needs to be multiplied by 5 to arrive at a new 6 digit , the first 6 digits, ignore the remainder, (for the maths buffs who can do it without finding all of them) there will be a remainder. = NNNWWW last three of North and West = N 52 14.NNN W 001 50.WWW the cache location.
