INTRODUCTION: The reason dice are often
called "bones" is probably because some of the earlier forms were
actually made from animal bones. A die (singular form of dice) is a
six-sided cube and often has rounded corners to assist in a
smoother roll. Each face contains an indention or other marking
that represents numbers from 1 through 6. Dice are usually rolled
in pairs and the total score shown is used to advance in board
games or satisfy some game of chance.
Some of the most popular board games utilize a pair
of dice. There are more chances when rolling two dice to get a
seven because there are more combinations between the two dice to
produce a 7 (six to be exact).
DESCRIPTION: Solving the code in the dice
puzzle correctly will reveal a trail head. Follow the trail into
the woods until you come to a metal plate (manhole cover) located
on the right side of the trail. Then, turn around and walk back (in
the direction you just came) 20 double paces (count each time your
right foot hits the ground). Using your compass, look in the
direction of N 20º West. The treasure you seek lies about 45 feet
in that direction.

Please feel free to take a "bone", or a pair of "bones," from the
small ammo box cache (as long as they last) for your efforts; or,
exchange for something that you have. Travel bugs are always
welcome!
So,
shake those "bones" and get caching!
