This cache will be a lot of fun for the entire family, but unless you have a child prodigy, an adult may have to solve the field puzzle. Preferably an adult with a Ph.D. in a zoological or biological field. May the odds be in your favor! wink

The field Puzzle:

On the field, the following are two ways to solve the combination to get to the log:

  • The gadget
  • If the gadget aspect of the cache is not working or your five senses disallow you to solve the field puzzle in this manner, there is a backup option. Look for the scroll and remember the following equation: Eastern screech owl + barred owl + barn owl + 433
