From Hwy 101, take Exit 3 (Mt Uniacke Connector). Park outside the gate near the wooden sign, which is also the start for our "Molly's Pockwock Walk" cache. Some places along the way may be wet in the Spring. We saw lots of tracks...deer, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, coyote and red fox. (Well, really, the Red Fox tracks are our own; but the area does have lots of wildlife.) Our Chance Fox TB begins his mission from this cache.
This is a game-themed cache; suggested trade items would be a deck of cards, dice, travel-size games, etc. The container is a large camo-covered bucket; and when placed, it contained a log book, calling-card folder, two travel bugs, a FTF certificate and "jackpot", plus lots of game-related items.
The above coordinates take you to Waypoint #1 where you must search for three small Lock & Lock containers covered in camo, hidden together. One holds seven black-suit playing cards representing the digits in the North coordinates for the final cache. The second has seven red-suit cards, one for each of the numbers in the West coords of the cache location. Note: The Joker represents zero; however, the zero in the West degrees has been omitted. The third container holds the 'gambol' card. The decision will then have to be made whether to GAMBLE or to GAMBOL.
GAMBLE: (by definition - to risk or chance something) Arrange a winning hand (coordinates) using the 14 cards, and take a chance by going directly to find the final cache without "gamboling" further. PLEASE REPLACE THE GAMBOL CARD IN THE ROUND CONTAINER, ALL BLACK-SUIT CARDS (SHUFFLED PLEASE) IN THE NORTH CONTAINER, AND ALL RED-SUIT CARDS (SHUFFLED PLEASE) IN THE WEST CONTAINER.
GAMBOL: (by definition - to frolic about for joy or sport; light-hearted recreational activity for diversion or amusement) Use the coordinates on the gambol card to go to Waypoint #2. Search there for a film canister containing the final cache coords --- no need to gamble!
It is recommended you know how to decode the geocaching encryption and also take note of the CBN survey marker in the area (see photo).
GOOD LUCK / BONNE CHANCE !
