How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

All waypoints are permanent fixtures that are easy to get to on flat ground except the final leg. This would be a great one for the kids to help with except maybe for the math and the actual cache. This cache is year round accessible. Depending on the season, you might get wet - on hot days, it's very likely you WILL get wet. I got my toes wet at the final cache - bring boots or choose your path carefully. Ignore the decimals and manipulate the minutes only.

I've been past this park hundreds of times but never knew how big it was or that there were so many thngs to do here. By the time you're done, you will have seen most of it.

The first legs are out in the open so you may get funny looks from non cachers. The last two will get you out of sight so you can lose any curious non cachers.

I had designed this to be hard but my testers made me make it easier - no calculus this time....

The coordinates above take you to stop one.

Stop One:

How many rings do you see? ______

Add that number plus 40 to the current latitude to find the latitude for stop 2: 43 ________

Stop Two:

Stop Three:

How many animals do you see?_______

How many holes do you see? (don't count the round ones)__________
