--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Fairmont State University in Fairmont, WV. Known as the "Friendly City," FSU has built a campus designed around you and all that you can achieve as a Fighting Falcon. Founded in 1865 as a teacher's college, and known to many alumni as "the college on the hill," Fairmont State University has a long history of preparing students for their next step in life.


To open this cache and retrieve the log book and container, you are going to have to use your brain. Not your school smarts perhaps, but rather some logical thinking. At ground zero you will find a birdhouse, painted in Fairmont State fashion. Your work has just begun. When you think you found the answer, input your solution into the lock located on the side of the birdhouse. Please be gentle; nothing will take any more force than the strength of your pinky. Once completed, please reset the cache exactly as you found it.
