Geocache Description:

One of a series of caches placed near Arrowhead Park, this is #4 in BigD’s Geo-gadget Tour(BDGT)! There is no cache at the listed coordinates but they will lead you to Arrowhead Park, a small neighborhood park with ample parking for the cache-mobile, and the starting point of all caches in the series. Each of these caches will involve some sort of Field Puzzle or Geo-gadget, good luck, and happy hunting !


This installment in the series will take you on a medium hike, round trip just over one mile, to a full size ammo-can, or rather ..... "Gadget-Can"!

Please park the cache mobile in the Arrowhead Park lot, near the listing coordinates, and continue on foot to the final location. You will be crossing into the woods via footbridge at the SouthWest edge of the park. From there you will hike to the location that you have determined by completing the Geocaching 101 crossword puzzle below.


Once you begin your hike, you might find a somewhat direct route as an option, but for a more pleasant hike I recommend ducking into the woods a bit further before heading in the direction of the final location. There will be no bushwacking required either way, as there are many trails and open woods. In the hotter months there is more shade to be had in the woods as well, and it's just an overall better walk so take my advice.


When you have located GZ you will find the Cache down low and the Key up high, both residing in the same host. Use the key to resolve the "Gadget-Can" and sign the log to claim your smiley!
