Geocache Description:


You will be asked to admire some interesting landscaping choices that people have placed in open view for all to see, but you should keep your feet firmly planted in the public domain. Stay on Road 68 for the virtual waypoints. There are 5 stops to admire and study.

This is a medium-distance multicache that spans a distance of more than 1 mile, but less than 2. Be warned that parking is not great along road 68, either. I would recommend a nice walk or bike ride.

Final hide is at N 46° 14.abc' W 119° 10.dde'

Stage 1
Sweep your gaze from West to Northwest. Notice the Large Animal in the distance? What color is this beast?
WHITE: a = 0
ORANGE: a = 1
YELLOW: a = 2
GREEN: a = 3
PURPLE: a = 4
BLUE: a = 5
BLACK: a = 6
GREY: a = 7
RAINBOW: a = 8
CLEAR/COLORLESS: a = 9

Stage 2
Look Southwest and identify another Large Animal, similar to the last one in some ways. How many legs is this guy standing on?
[This guy has been moved! But not far. If you have trouble finding him, head down the road S just a little more, as much as 20-25 meters.]
NO LEGS (FLYING): b = 1
ONE LEG: b = 3
TWO LEGS: b = 5
THREE LEGS: b = 7

NONE: c = 2
ONE: c = 4
TWO: c = 6
THREE: c = 8
FOUR: c = 0

Stage 4
Look East and identify a group of woodland creatures. How many of them have spots?
NONE OF THEM: dd = 22
ALL OF THEM: dd = 44
ONE OF THEM: dd = 66
TWO OF THEM: dd = 88
THREE OF THEM: dd = 00

Stage 5
Look West. There are a lot of landscaping creatures here! Butterflies, rabbits, etc. Featured prominently are a cute couple, perhaps the most 3-dimensional of all the decorations. What animal are they?
DOG: e = 0
CAT: e = 1
COW: e = 2
DINOSAUR: e = 3
FISH: e = 4
FROG: e = 5
