In addition to the 4 physical caches planned for 2011, GPD is
extending the anniversary celebration with a special non-caching
game that will take you to every park over the course of the year.
Each quarter the Anniversary Game will feature 4-5 different
parks and by visiting these parks you can find special cards that
are posted as part of the Anniversary Game.
These lettered cards will be posted at a representative feature
of each park. Parks are grouped by season in one area of the county
to minimize driving. Visiting all the parks will allow you to build
the key phrase.
You can begin to play this optional game by finding the special
spot here at The West Woods and visiting the other parks featured
for this quarter. Use the geocache coordinates listed below when
playing the Anniversary Game. Bring a writing utensil to record the
letters. Collect all the letters over the year then figure out the
phrase.
One of the parks in the last quarter will have a container with
the phrase template to enter your letters on. Enter your completed
phrase for a chance to win the Anniversary Game Prize. There will
be a drawing of correct entries at a special geocache program in
February 2012.
The complete phrase template must be returned to The West Woods
Nature Center by January 31, 2012 or at the geocache event to be
scheduled in February 2012.
