This is one of a series of four caches. All of the cache names and clues have a 'Big Arnie' theme, and will require a little investigation and problem solving.
"If it hides, we can find it!" (woeful movie mis-quotation)
This is it sports fans, the last in the series. Like the previous caches in this series, the posted co-ordinates for this cache are for the entrance to the general caching area only. This is a state Rec Area, with a $6 entry fee. While there, I didn't see anyone pay it or collect it, so the choice is your's. Oh, and no dogs, so say the signs.
The cache is about 10 metres off a walking trail. There's a place to park and eat where the track starts.
To find this cache's actual co-ordinates you MUST locate the other three in the series FIRST.
Why?
Because the answer to the Riddle of the Rat requires a clue from each of the other caches.
Riddle me this, riddle me that,
What does it mean, Riddle of the Rat?
A rat likes a challenge, a puzzle, some fun,
To find number four, you must first start with one.
Then off to find two, then next to find three,
Put them together, and then you will see,
The answer is simple, not tricky at all,
As long as you're clever and right on the ball.
Don't get them mixed up, or muddled, or mucked,
Or you could get lost and then you'd be....stuck.
No more problems to solve or movies to watch,
Use your caching know-how, of co-ords and such.
It should all become clear, a puzzle no more,
To find this last cache, SteelRat's Predator.
Good Luck.
(Oh, and if you're curious as to why the fourth one is called Predator, it's because the need to successfully solve the first three will probably whittle the final numbers down a little, just like in the movie. Also, there used to be an old VHS copy of the movie Predator in the original cache, but over the years it was ignored and water logged, so is no more.)
