Geocache Description:


Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lived on the north side of the Fox River.

One day, he decided to go to town to purchase a few items he needed. It was a nice day and rather than jump in his pick-up truck and drive to town, he decided instead to take his rowboat.

In no time at all, he had rowed his way to the only store in town - a liquor store (come on people - have you been to Big Bend?).

He went inside to make his purchases. Now you made find it odd that a liquor store would carry the items he needed (remember - this is Big Bend), but it did and minutes later, he walked out of the store with three things - a fox, a chicken and a sack of corn.

He made his way back to his rowboat and that is when he discovered his dilemma. His rowboat can only carry him and one other item at a time.

What to do?

  • If the fox and the chicken are left together, the fox will eat the chicken.
  • If the chicken and the corn are left together, the chicken will eat the corn.

Can this task even be accomplished?

Of course it can!

Once you figure out the order in which he must get his items across the river, you will need to put your answer into the certitude checker. If you are correct, you will be rewarded with the coordinates!

Your order of items should be submitted, using no spaces or punctuation.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
