Geocache Description:

Cin Park is a small Nicely Shaded out of the way park. It is located in close proximity to Aubuchon Park (please do not walk directly between these parks-The land between the parks is private land). Park Contains relatively flat paved walking trail which goes nearby cache locations. All waypoints including final are on Park Grounds please observe posted signs.

As of June 2013, The Troll was in fear of possible muggle action and has adjusted the final location.
The Troll in Cin Park has had his cache muggled so often that he has re-hidden the cache in a new location. He has left himself clues (in case he forgot where) in three locations around the park.
{as of 6/4/2022 His hide was beginning to be in plain sight due to park maintenance. - Hide has been relocated nearby and calculations adjusted}

You will need to find the 3 locations and the clues to locate the new hide location.
Each location will need info from the previous locations including the final.
Final Cache is a Small non-traditional cache.
Cache and All locations are within Park Boundary Please do not go onto Private property

He found his first reminder clue (WP2) walking with a bearing of 217deg for 300ft (100yrds)
from his home coordinates of N38 46.879 W90 20.569 (GZ at the top of the page).  

WP1:  Start at the Coordinates for GZ at the top of the page: 

           To get to WP2:  Start at WP1 and walk 300ft (100yrds) with a bearing of 217 deg

WP2: Here you must gaze overhead and locate a 3 digit number
           Make the 3 digits #ABC then plug them into the WP3 as follows:
           N38 46.(B)(A/3)(C-7) W90 20.(A)(B-A)(C-7)

WP3: {note: careful some of these may be a bit tricky} Here you can take a seat and rest:
              D = How many total bolts are used to hold all of the boards on the bench
                      then subtract the number of boards.
                               [ example: if each board had 3 bolts and there were 4 boards
                                                 {two boards for the seat and 2 for the back} 
                                                  Then  (3*4) - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8   ]
           As you sit you may be enjoying the sights and sounds of children at play:
              E = How many slides are available for them to slide on? (tricky here)
              F = How many rings are on the monkey bars they may be playing on.
           Use these numbers to find WP4: N 38 46.(F)(C )(D/2) W 90 20.(E)(D)(A-E

WP4: Locate a man-made object. Find a 3-digit number (preceded by the letter S) on this object.
          Make this number #GHI
                        *Note due to work being done in this area
                        this point will be a freebie - G= _4_ H= _4_ I= _0_


WP5 & Final:    plug the above numbers into this coordinate: N 38 47.(G-H)(I)(D-E) W 90 20.(E)(C)(D+A-F)


The below will help record and track your numbers
At WP2       A= ____      B= ____      C= ____
At WP3       D= ____      E= ____      F= ____
At WP4       G= ____      H= ____      I= ____

WP1 : N 38 46.879 W 90 20.569

WP2 : 300ft at bearing 217deg from WP1
WP3 : N 38 46.__ __ __ W 90 20.__ __ __
           N 38 46.(B)(A/3)(C-7) W 90 20.(A)(B-A)(C-7)
WP4 : N 38 46.__ __ __ W 90 20.__ __ __
           N 38 46.(F)(C )(D/2) W 90 20.(E)(D)(A-E)
WP5 : N 38 47.__ __ __ W 90 20.__ __ __
           N 38 47.(G-H)(I)(D-E) W 90 20.(E)(C)(D+A-F)
