Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Mystery cache placed in honor of our recently injured Muggle Dog who could not make the trek out there to place this tonight. He'll be back on long walks shortly. Bring a pen and post pics of your dog(s) enjoying the park.

UPDATE - Nigel is now doing much better and is back on long night walks with Muggle Dad.
Now that the FTF... well... found it, this cache is now open to all geocachers (not just premium members).

This is a wonderfully large park nestled in the middle of everything. Skate ramps, basketball, kiddie climbers, stretching, soccer, jogging trails, handicapped accessible... this park has everything and is easily enjoyed by young, old, and dogs alike. No need for cardboard cut-outs of kids to accompany you to this park.

The first coordinates will take you to the order in which you will have to place the following numbers:
  • A: Number of clocks inside the park
  • B: Number of giraffe heads visible from the jogging trail. (walk until you see them... they're clearly visible from the trail)
  • C: Number of Tyrannosaurus Rex sliding boards
  • D: There are stairs from the kiddie section to the bathroom. On the right of the stairs, as you come to the top, on the wall of the bathroom, there are diamonds... the total number of diamonds (count the halves also... double check your number by counting the number of trees adjacent to the path from stage one to the wing shaped fountains.)
  • E: Number of colors on the basketball court
  • F: Number of fish ponds
  • H: Number of stairs from the kiddie playground to the bathroom

Final location yields a micro with enough room for a log and a SMALL trackable. No room for a pen, so bring your own!

FTF is a Premium member only, I'll open it up to the general public after the FTF. FTF also scores themselves an official "Not Another Micro" GeoPin

Congratulations to forsaken115 and matthewnlaurie for the Co-FTF!

Have fun. Enjoy the park. And share your story.

No Hints.
Difficulty is set due to muggles, size of container, and the counting... (I think it is set too high, but clayjar says differently.)

This shot of the kids and the dog reminds me of the Peter Pan kids and their dog.

Nigel hurt his paw and couldn't come with us to place this cache, so we named it after him. He'll be back up and around in no time.

Finally found this cache. The giraffe's eluded my gaze the first time around.
The second time I came by, there was a festival in progress and no less than 1000 muggles here.

Called the owner to check on this one and sure enough when he did it was still there. Don't want to say too much as it will give the spot away. Muggles great hide and Mystery cache. TFTC

After a phone call last night I drove back out to the cache and YES.. the cache... BOTH STAGES of the cache... ARE THERE! Woo-Hoo! (kinda)

If you are having trouble, please call me or write me and I'll help you out. This is not meant to be impossible, but I understand how these buggers can become tricky at times. You might also try bringing some small/skinny arms with you when you go. If you know where the gym is located, you might not be able to get your arm in there.

Happy Hunting!
