Don't Touch the Ground Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

zellersclan: I was informed by the Berks County Park Department that this trail was being disassembled. Obviously, for this reason, I will need to remove this cache. It was visited by many and was viewed as a favorite cache. I am glad that those could enjoy it before it was removed.

Geocache Description:

Cache is a film canister located on an Adaptive Recreation Trail developed by the Berks County Parks and Recreation Department. It is designed so that persons with disabilities might be better able to enjoy nature. Keeping in mind the purpose of the trail, the cache is handicapped accessible.

During your search for this cache, there is no need to touch the ground. This is a great family cache, but some caution still needs to be used for the toddlers. Our daughter enjoys this place and we have been lucky enough to catch glimpses of deer each time we were there. We thought you might enjoy it as well.

The first step, head to the coordinates posted above and answer this question to complete the equation for the second part of the cache.

How many species of bird eat the fruit from this tree?
X= numbers of birds
N 40° 23. [(x/4)+3)]
W 076° 00. [(x*3)+4]

Head to the next rest stop. X= the number of boards on the back of the bench. Complete the equation to find the cache.
N 40° 23. [(x*10)-65)]
W 076° 00. [(900/x)+7]

This trail has been vandalized frequently since its creation. Remember to practice CITO.

Cache was hidden with permission from the Berks County Parks and Recreation Department.

Special prize is waiting for the FTF.

Note: Gates to the County Soccer field are not open year round, but the park where the cache is located is open. Enter the park from the entrance off of County Road. Bear to the right and there are parking spaces by the maintenance garage.
