This is one of fourteen caches that make up the Western Sky portion of the Path of the Zodiac series of caches. Thirteen of the caches composing this portion represent the thirteen constellations that occupies the ecliptic that defines the Western Zodiac. The fourteenth cache, Path of the Zodiac: The Western Sky, can only be located after the initial thirteen caches in the portion have been located and the clues they contain gathered. The order in which these thirteen caches are found does not matter, but finding all of them is a requirement to seek out and log the fourteenth cache. In mythology, the constellation of Aries represents the winged ram Chrysomallos. After being sacrificed to the gods, the ram's fleece was hung in a temple, where it was known as the Golden Fleece. Claiming the Golden Fleece was part of the quest of Jason and his Argonauts. Much like Jason seeking out the Golden Fleece, setting out for this cache may be a quest. The physical cache container is not at the above listed coordinates, and the first challenge of locating it is solving the Riddle of Aries. Are you up to the challenge? THE RIDDLE OF ARIES Running sheep! Run, sheep, run! Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep Sheep When you find the cache remember to record the clue contained inside the container. You'll need it if you are looking to complete the full series. Outside of providing a coordinate checker for each puzzle, I will not give personal help, hints, etcetera until the whole of the Path of the Zodiac series have been completed by a few cachers. It's the only fair way to do it as completing this series should be considered something of an accomplishment and making it to the end should go to those who make it there on their own devices. Cachers that have worked out a puzzle are discouraged from giving much away if asked for help in order to keep up the level of challenge provided by this series.

Thanks for the great series of puzzles! This one was took the longest and was the last one solved. Visiting from Denver for the weekend. Had to come back to the room to put all the clues together. Hope to find the final in the morning. Found on a nice hike with geokid and geodog Dakota.

This was one of the first puzzles I solved in this series! I found a work around that gave me the first step to solving it and then I saw the solution. The hike to this one was a nice little one, I'm getting excited because I'm almost done. TFTC!!!

Musestricken and I had a lot of fun solving this puzzle. When we used both our heads, it was a quick and easy solve. This cache took a little longer to find since Musestricken was looking in the wrong area, but it was easy once we tried a different spot. We snapped a photo of a tiny bluish lizard after we found this one.
