Geocache Description:

This cache is dedicated to those of us who have OPHICIOPHOBIA … a fear of snakes!

This is a small cache that is located not too far off the paved trail in Walker Park. The coordinates listed above are to help you get to the Park. To get the actual cache coordinates you will first need to pass the following pop quiz on snakes …

SNAKE QUIZ:

True or False?

( ) Hognose snakes will coil up, make fake strikes, and hiss loudly to try to scare you.
( ) Kingsnakes and indigo snakes eat other snakes.
( ) "Red next to yellow will kill a fellow" is talking about the coral snake.
( ) If you are walking where there might be lots of snakes, it is best to tip toe.
( ) Snakes and caches like to hide in the same kinds of places.

CALCULATING THE CACHE COORDINATES:

Using the answers to the questions in the Snake quiz, calculate T and F and then plug them into the cache coordinates listed below.

T = the number of true statements
F = the number of false statements

N29 33.T52
W098 30.F69
