Geocache Description:

Happy eighth day of Cache-mas!


Walk over to the shrubs and uncover the cache. Which do you spot first, the cow that has run away or the cow house from which it came? You'll need both to solve this simple field puzzle. The cow ran away with the logbook and secret code but he didn't get very far before falling into a trap. With three numbers, you can get past the trap and sign the log. There may even be a few treasures for trading as well. The milkmaids are waiting in the barn for you, some of them are known to be more helpful than others. Once you figure out how to get into the cache, don't forget to look for a code to help you find the final in the "12 Days of Cachemas" series.
