This is a 4 stage Multi -cache set on newly developed public walking tracks in a new industrial subdivision. This cache incorporates a few different methods of navigation and camouflage to lead to the final location.
All waypoints are close to well-formed pathways, so no need to go cross-country, just choose the right path. No need to jump any fences. There are some busy roads nearby, especially at WP 3, you don’t need to cross them, just watch the kids and some stealth may be required at busy times. There are a few creeks so watch the kids by the water.
