Rocky liked to visit Jack's Watering Hole every night, enjoying a “friendly” game of cards. After winning lots of money, Rocky became suspicious of his "friends." So, he stashed his cash in a hole he found in the ground far from the Watering Hole and covered it with a rock. Being rather cocky, Rocky displayed pictures of his winning* hands at the Watering Hole. Then he dared his “friends” to find his stash. Two days later, Rocky kicked the bucket, and his “friends” went off to jail.

To incriminate the suspects, the authorities need your help. Identify the missing cards in picture 1 and picture 2. Virtually visiting Jack's Watering Hole on the uploaded topo may also be helpful.







You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


Once you’ve solved the puzzle, we suggest taking FR 428 to FR 194 to the Jeep Road waypoint. Follow the Jeep Road to the Watering Hole (published coords). Then head overland to Rocky's stash. It’s a rocky trek, so wear proper foot gear and bring water and food. As always watch out for venomous creatures during warm months. We recommend a high-clearance vehicle, quad, horse or foot travel over the dirt roads.
Congrats to 321Kaboom for FTF
