Geocache Description:


Do NOT go to the posted location to find the container, it is not there.  YOU MUST answer the question correctly to find the final location.

 

7 Mile Loop Crystal River Preserve State Park

Mountain bikes or fat tire bikes (or just your own two feet) are perfect for this trail, the longest unpaved loop in Citrus County, Florida. Starting out on the western section, you’ll cross over three tidal creeks - Deer Creek, King Creek and Dolphin Creek - where you can witness the beginnings of the estuary food chain. Dogs on a leash are allowed and you are to pick up after your pet. The trail is open from 8 a.m. until sundown, 365/366 days a year.  There are no fees required to park at the trailhead or to hike/bike/Geocache on the trail. There are a few benches along the trail along with some shady streaches.  NOTE: There is a bench close by.

 

There are signs posted at the trailhead reminding you about the following: #1 = The 7 Mile loop trail is subject to flooding.  #2 = There are no Restroom facilities at the trailhead or on the trail.  #3 = There is no drinking water available at the trailhead or along the trail. Also, remember, this is Florida, there are dangerous critters and plants you should avoid, Oh, there is also a plethora of flying things that will bite, poke and/or sting you, so remember your bug spray along with your sun block (the Florida sun can be brutal), water and snacks (Cache in – Trash out).  NOTE: No recent Skunk Ape siting’s/encounters have been reported in this area.

 

How do you find the correct final location for this geocache?  Choose from the 3 choices and use the checker to verify your answer. So, let’s learn some trivia about Ducks.

 

Question:

Ducks can sleep with one eye open to watch out for predators.

 

Choose from these answers:

Quack!                 N28 55.421 W082 39.204

Quack?                 N28 55.150 W082 38.158

Quack                   N28 55.150 W082 38.183

NOTE: Quack could be the correct answer making Quack! or Quack? the wrong answer, even though, Quack! or Quack? might have been the correct answer to begin with, only Quack (Duck talk) was used for the correct answer, possibly.  Or, Quack is the correct answer and translated to Quack! (True) or Quack? (False) for the correct answer.  One thing for sure, the correct answer is one of the 3 choices, being Quack!, Quack? or Quack. Use the checker to find out if you are a lucky guesser or not.
