Geocache Description:


This is a two-part multi cache near where the Lone Ranger Patrol of Boy Scout Troop 180 camped during the Spring Camporee of April  2004. 

The walk from the angel to the cache will offer you an opportunity to visit one of the nicest city parks in Indiana.  Truly one of the gems of small town Indiana.  The kind referred to in the John Mellencamp song, Small Town.

The first stage is virtual.  You will need to enter an area that only should be accessed from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm.  It is open every day.  You will see some sort of structure with an angel (Not the, "Look Homeward Angel", but the nativity angel) on top of it that is protecting Ogan and need to find the date he left us to find the coordinates to the final stage.
    

Nativity Angel






Use the following formula to get the final coordinates: N. 40* (day).(last three digits of year minus 288) W. 086* 02.505.  A calculator or pen and paper might help if you are not the best at mental math.  The final step will be right across the creek from where we camped.  It is a micro that is big enough for small prizes (pins, dominoes, coins, etc.), but not big enough for a pencil or pen so PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN WRITING UTENSIL.  Because of the way that the second stage is hidden, it might present a challenge.  If there are a lot of people around, please be discrete.  The cords should be pretty good, but there was a lot of cloud cover, so they might be a little off.  Check out some of the pictures from our weekend!
