Geocache Description:


The child this cache is named for has long since created a game called "Ricky Rat". It involves one of the children being Ricky Rat, a cursed baby doll, and a lot of screaming and banging cupboard doors. We do not play Ricky Rat in the classroom anymore,

I have not figured out any of the rules this game may or may not have. While I'm puzzling over it, you can puzzle over this! In front of you is a "Welcome to Boone!" sign with placards for most of the clubs in Boone. Take the information on these circles an use them to fill out the puzzle!

How many Chess Clubs are welcoming you to Boone on this sign? Put this number in the A spot.

How many Rotary Clubs placards are there? Put this number in the B spot.

When was the Mount Olive Masonic lodge founded? Put the last letter of the year in the C spot and the I spot.
