Geocache Description:


Some things deserve to be copied. Hence CopyCat's Box, named after Pandora's Box. Just as Pandora's Box is a hunt for five KEYS, CopyCat's Box is a hunt for five different color pesky Cats. Those Cats are Blue, Green, Purple, Red, and Yellow.

Ignore the posted coordinates- CopyCat's Box is not there. Start your hunt for the five colors using the links below. Attached to each Cat is a clue to the location of the Box and same color Cats have the same clue. Each clue has two numbers. Those two numbers are part of the ten numbers needed for the coordinates of the final cache. When you have grabbed or discovered all five different color cats, you have all the necessary information to find the location of CopyCat's Box.

Each Cat is a Travel Bug, free to move from cache to cache. The challenge is to find the Cat before the Cat moves. How long will a Cat stay at a given cache? A good question with no answer.

Some rules:

1. Please keep the Cats in southwestern Ohio or southeastern Indiana.
2. If you grab a Cat, please move it soon. Others, too, are hunting for it.
3. Don't forget to copy down those valuable numbers and join the hunt for the remaining cats.

To find the current location of a Cat, click on its link below.
