Geocache Description:

A multi-cache walk through the Sidney Park.


This is a nice walk through the Sidney Park.  And since I got into geocaching because of a fascination with treasure hunting, I made it a multi-cache.  Shouldn't be too hard, though you may walk at least a mile, maybe a little more, by the time you are done.  Final cache contains some swag, a log book, and a pen.  Small lock-n-lock.  Please make sure to close lid securely when done.

Ok, let's go:

1.  Initial location.  At a bearing of 262.23 degrees and distance of 70m you should see a sign with blue posts.  That's location number 2.

2. Signs, signs, everywhere signs. All you have to do is count letters on the sign and plug them in to find coordinates for next location. See hints 1 and 2.

     N 41 (13).(2)(18)(70)

     W 102 (5)(24).(29)(33)(21)

     Checksum: 44

3. Secret garden

Once you get to this location, you should see lots more letters to count. But you need to use a different counting method. See hint 3.

     N 41 (8/5/19).000

     W 102 (2/9/2)(2/3/1).(1/1/21)(20/1/17)0

     Checksum: 37

4. Get some exercise.

More signs. Use the side that has no device attached. More counting. See hint 4.

     N 41 (1/6).(2/1)(11/4)(4/2)

     W 102 (15/4)(3/4).(5/15)(12/4)(20/26)

     Checksum: 48

5. Final Location (Congratulations!)
