5 Miles from Turnpike Exit 44, And walking distance from Washington
Ave and 295. A very quick offset cache.
There is plenty of parking and great place to walk or bike in the
area. When you have parked, head to the coordinates. There you will
find a flag pole. Facing North you will see two identical red
signs. They have a # under them.
Record this number. Give it the the Value "X"
The signs the number is under have "Y" sides to them.
As you face these Red signs you are facing North. You will see
two ballfields and to the left a larger ballfield. Inside the
fences of each of these ballfields is the distance from Home to the
fence. (luckily the same value for Right, Center and Left field for
the three of them)
The Shortest distance are values ABC (1 letter for each digit in
the order of the number)
The Middle Distance are values EFG
The Largest Distance are Values IJK
To find the cache:
The missing Norh coordinate can be calculated by taking the last
three digits of the flag pole's coordinate for North and
subtracting CIF (Substitute the number for each letter. Do not
multiply C * I * F, rather just use the value of B in the hundreds
place and I in the 10's and F in the ones)
North 43 40._ _ _
The Western Cordinate is devised by using the number we got at
the flag pole. (X * Y)* G + J. (remember do the parenthesis first
then multiply that result by G and then add J. This will give you a
3 digit number.
West 70.16. ___
Now go there and behold the cache!

 Downy and Her First Cache
Jealous that I was having all the fun, Downy (my Holland Lop Eared Rabbit) decided to make a series of caches of her own. She lets me pick where I can hide them for her, but has instructed me to "Think Like A Bunny." So all these caches will be kid friendly.
I can see my JOB from here...
But at least I am out having fun now.
START HERE
The journey begins at this flagpole. The red signs are just out of the pic on the left side of the photo.

Hmmm, I don't get a 3 digit number for the West coordinates? What could I have done wrong? I think I know what I did. I used the numbers from the left ballfield only. When I re-read the page, I now see that it was suppose to be numbers from BOTH ballfields?

Found while recording a podcast episode with Gildenning and Team V3. Made for a fun podcast/ A little small for the tb, so I will just drop it and grab it back for mileage.

Felt like we were going around in circles doing the puzzle and then walking to the cache. We saw some animals' tail in a hole in a tree. Wasn't sure if it was dead or sleeping. Thanks for the fun cache!!

Found this cache and loved the puzzle. Cole enjoyed running around the bases. We left Spongebob toy and Diego top. Cole took a little keychain.
