Added 10 new five color maps on 07 August 2005. A two part multicache. The first part is a Tupperware cylinder covered in camouflage tape. It contains detailed, black and white, orienteering maps of the area and the GPS coordinates that you may use to find the Orienteering Cache, which is a small ammo box, about 1.2 km/.75 miles away.

Park at N 42° 04.181 W 072° 33.670. Sign the log and take a map. Space might be tight so do not leave anything. On these maps your current location is indicated by a triangle, the location of the Orienteering Cache is indicated with a circle, and the coordinates are written in the upper left part of the map. Terrain features will prevent you from taking the straight-line route to the cache, so route choice is important. A well-planned route can save you a great deal of effort.

In the sport of orienteering you may only use a map and compass. But, if you wish, you may use your GPS as well. Please post a note if you find fewer than five maps remaining; so that I can restock the cylinder.

I’ve started this cache with unusual items you are unlikely to have encountered in any other cache.

A special prize for the first finder
A five-color version of the orienteering map of the area.
Two sets of special UV detecting beads that turn colors only under UV light (sunlight).
Two packages of sand dollars/seashells.
A pair of pinecones painted to reveal their Fibonacci spirals.
A pouch of genuine Guatemalan worry dolls
A bar of picture soap - image will not vanish with use.

You can park your car and access the park from the surrounding city streets. If you wish to drive into the park there is an entrance/parking fee.

TFTC - nice find, the first part was on the ground rather than in its location, second part was right where is should be.

The chaos makers and I found the first part very easily. We didn't find the second half. Things were a bit damp. Had fun though. TFTF, purchaos and the chaos makers.
