Geocache Description:

The town of Gilbert just opened their new $3 million, seventh of an acre park. Was it worth it? You decide.

The townsfolk wanted to save their old water tower. They turned the area around it into a park. The tower is filled with sand and repainted. Nearby is the old adobe pumphouse that some said was also used as the town drunk tank. You can see bars on the window. The upgrade in the park includes a kugel ball fountain underneath a large spigot and other fountains. All representing the importance of water to the farming heritage of Gilbert. It was once known as the hay capital of the world.

Its an attractive spot. You can walk all around the fountains, pump house and water tower. This cache is in 2 stages. The first coordinates will take you to the center of the 4 struts of the tower. This is also a synchronized water fountain designed for human interaction. Be careful if you dont want to get wet. You can see the first stage, a magnetic strip, hidden in plain sight somewhere on the tower struts. You do not have to get wet to find the first stage. The second and final stage will take you to a location nearby. It is within walking distance, although it can also be almost a drive by. The difficulty rating is in part because of the amount of muggles you will likely encounter at the first stage.
