Geocache Description:


This is version two of this cache.  Still a field puzzle - still a test to see if you are smarter than a 5th grader.

Don't break it!!!   If you can't solve it just put it back in the ammo box and DNF the cache.

Don't take the plastic cube!  That is the puzzle with the log in the bison tube inside.

In order to claim the find, you have to get the puzzle open and retrieve the bison tube from inside.  The log is in the bison tube.

The hint below may help you solve the puzzle.  I would suggest allowing 15 minutes to solve the puzzle.   Not a PNG.

 

 

The coordinates will take you to the eastern edge of the park by a split rail fence.  Find the cache container - shouldn't be a problem.   Now comes the challenge.   The log is inside and your job it to figure out how to get it open.

Yes, it can be smashed, broken, stomped on, twisted off or various outher ways of destroying it.   But, that isn't the point.   Just open up the lock and get the log out and sign it.   

The cache will remain until it is destroyed.   Lets see how long that takes.
