How's Your
Horse Sense?
[NOTE:
The listed coordinates are not the coordinates for the starting
point or the final cache. The listed coordinates contain many zeros
and must be adjusted using the following information to establish
the starting coordinates. Once completed, you should be on the
"trail."]
INTRODUCTION:
Western movies are now a
thing of the past. But during the 1940's and early 1950's,
they were in peak demand. What young lad has not wished that
he could grow up to be just like Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger,
or Hopalong Cassidy?
You might remember the
cowboys and their "side kicks", but what about the horses?
They were, in many cases, just as famous as the movie stars
that rode them.
This cache involves a
little knowledge about those famous steeds. In many cases a
cowboy had several horses, so be careful in selecting your
answer.
Identify the cowboy's
horse.

Completing the
above and logging in your coordinates should lead you to a
"memory tree" in a small park. Using the information there,
complete the following for the coordinates of the final
cache. Don't forget to take a pen to sign the log
book.
