Geocache Description:


Many times, while walking the roads in Chatham County, I will see cows in a field.  Years ago, while walking with my granddaughter, we thought it would be fun to holler "Moo" at the cows.  This caught on with my granddaughter and now she will often say it when we see cows. Of course the cows still pay us little attention and continue to go about their business as if we were not there.

This cache is on private property with the permission of the owners. Please be respectful of their property and only try to find it during daylight hours.

This is a gadget cache.  You will need a 9v battery to determine the combination to the lock on the container.  If you are lucky, you may find a battery hidden on the cache container.

There are 8 electrical contacts and 40 LEDs on the cache container. 

Your job is to get the LEDs to light up so that 4 blue LEDs appear. 

These 4 lights will correspond to the numbers in the combination to the lock when read from top to bottom on the cache container.

Once you dial the proper combination you will need to push up on the body of the lock to unlock it.  When you have finished logging in, please scramble the combination and reset the lock. If you use the battery, please replace it for the next finder.

You will need your own pencil for this cache.  As this is a gadget cache, logs with no signature will be deleted.

Special thanks to Sull427 for helping me find a place for this cache and looking over it for me and thanks to WVTim for his great videos describing how to build gadget caches.

Happy hunting.
