This cache is placed originally for the Rocky Neck Event on October 22, 2005. The first part is a micro container. After finding part one you will need to answer a multiple choice question. The correct answer will give you the correct coordinates to part two. You will be able to answer correctly if you carefully study the information below. Part 2 is the usual Ammo box located off the red trail very close to part 1.
There is a fee to park in the summer in the park. You can park outside the park for free at N41*18.862 W72*15.022 just off route 156 and hike in. It will be a shorter walk to this cache by parking at the Route 156 location but if you are doing the other caches in the park it is better to drive into the park. The trails are well marked and can be traversed by mountain bike or foot travel. Check the web site for a map of the trails.
In humans, the pancreas is a yellowish organ about 7 in. long and 1.5 in. wide. It lies beneath the stomach and is connected to the small intestine at the duodenum. Most of the pancreatic tissue consists of grapelike clusters of cells that produce a clear fluid (pancreatic juice) that flows into the duodenum through a common duct along with bile from the liver. Pancreatic juice contains three digestive enzymes: tryptase, amylase, and lipase, that, along with intestinal enzymes, complete the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, respectively. Scattered among the enzyme-producing cells of the pancreas are small groups of endocrine cells, called the islets of Langerhans, that secrete two hormones, insulin and glucagon.
Have Fun,
