jitters79: i'm archiving it, as I am not creative enough to come up with a muggle proof way.... I think it's an excellent park for a terrific Geocache.

Geocache Description:

The above location is not part of this cache, though it's a good place to go if you have kids.


It’s a three waypoint geocache, with the first two finds being fixed objects,

yes they are all fixed and

SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED!

Waypoint 1

To find waypoint one you will need to know the year the city paid for the property (A);

and the year that it was withdrawn from the Sheriff’s sale (B).


In 1929, what resolution number designates the park as a site for memorial statues? (C)


47° 38.(A – B + 553) -122° 19.(58+C)


At waypoint one, you will find a four digit number. Write this down! (D____ E____ F____ G____)


Waypoint 2

Look up the year that Sir Walter Raleigh founded Roanoke, VA. Add these digits together (H). Finally, add the digits of the year that “the reform party of purity candidates” were voted in to City Hall (I).


47°38.(562+H+I) -122-19.209


Here you will see a three digit number write that down (J____ K____ L____)


Waypoint 3 (Final!)

Whoa! You ready for the final? So, by now you have read through the pdf file and have become knowledgeable about the park. Before I tell you how to find the coordinates, I suggest that you also look for geocache GCJX63. I also want to add that while you are out searching for the grand finale that there is really no need for you to trample all over the beautiful flowers and bushes instead take a moment and look at the variety.


Okay… Here we go!

Plug the letters from the above caches into this, and away you go!

47°3(E-D).653 / 122°1(K).1(L)0
