Geocache Description:

This is a remix of the Ada Hayden Rocks puzzle cache done by Team Tayjam. This puzzle cache will take you all the way around the lake at Ada Hayden park. You will end up walking about 3 miles around the lake. Everything except the final stage is located on a nice paved path. The difficulty is set at three due to the length of the walk. The terrain is a 1 for all the stages except the last stage. The final cache is an ammo can. Container is full of kid friendly swag. Park Hours 6am-10:30pm

Park at the North parking lot, very close to the coordinates for the first stage. A bicycle will make this cache much faster. If you choose to walk, it's a very nice walk, but it will probably take around an hour to complete. No hints are necessary. All the information you need is provided in the description below.
