GMC #12: HOLY COW!
About This Location.
Marion County is home to a lot of agricultural opportunities. From locally owned farms to Amish markets, there are a lot of locally sourced resources produced right here in the middle of everywhere. This cache is located at Mon Valley Vineyards, another of the great wineries in the county. While it might not look like much, this is a really awesome location. If you get a chance to say hi, the owner would love to tell you all about it! (She is very welcoming to geocachers!)
About This Cache.
Special permission has been granted for the placement of this hide, so please be very respectful when visiting. You can park in the lot and walk around the porch on the lefthand side. Holy cow, there’s a bovine at Mon Valley. Here at the vineyard, you can get a taste of local wine… But this cow has some milk for those that can release it. Start by removing all 3 PVC caps. There are some beautiful silver marbles for you to examine. ONE is VERY different. When it is placed in the proper spot you’ll get the milk. Gently replace the container and caps making sure the special marble is “down in the mix”. Remember to BYOP. Please be gentle and replace everything back exactly as you found it! Hope you enjoy this cache.
THANKS FOR VISITING!
