Geocache Description:


This cache is located in Otter Creek Recreation Area. There is a $3 daily entry fee, or annual passes can be purchased for $30. A day pass can be purchased via their website at https://fw.ky.gov/Pages/default.aspx

Gadget cache, easy to find, harder to get into.

 

Just because something is gold in color does not mean it is gold. The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold.

You are looking for an ammo box. In order for you to find the treasure (log book and swag), you will have to search for gold, some will be fool’s gold and some others will give you what you need (numbers) to open the combo lock.

Everything you need is here, tool needed is connected to the lock via a caribener.
