Free parking at N 40° 59.143 W 111° 53.408 on the east side of
Lagoon. If you don’t know this delightful trail, you should, and
here is a fun excuse to go there. Walk, bike, whatever, and bring
the kids. The final ammo box is a short distance off-trail. Lots of
shade from the wonderful old cottonwood trees (hint) and a good
place for a picnic. Bring the kids. You'll need a print-out to
record the clues.
1. At the parking area, look for a number on the east entry gate
to Lagoon, #_______.
2. Head north on the asphalt trail, observing the ______mph
speed limit.
3. Soon you’ll cross a bridge with another gate on the left,
#_______.
4. Onward, but watch out for that tree right smack in the middle
of the path! Stop here and look left down a short path and count
______ number of picnic tables. (Maybe you’ll want to have that
picnic here.)
5. Continuing on, notice high up on a big tree to the left
______ wooden rungs (don’t even think of trying to climb).
6. Next you’ll pass an intersection, but stay on the curve to
the left as the trail to the north goes deeper into spooky woods.
Keep going until you begin to hear weird loud noises and
peoplescreaming in terror! (If it’s wintertime, you’ll only hear
the whispers of ghosts). As you emerge into a turn-around area at a
north entrance to Lagoon, at gate # ______, you’ll see a ghastly
sight--people plummeting from a giant rocket, their horrifying
shrieks filling the air.
7. Ignoring the screams, pull out your calculator or use your
noodle and do the following simple math:
Add the three gate numbers plus the total number of bridges you
crossed.
_____ + _____ + _____ + _____ = _________
Multiply that answer by number of tree rungs. _____ X _____ =
_________
To that answer add the speed limit and the number of picnic
tables.
_______+_____+_____ = _________
Insert your final 3-digit answer in the blank space in the
following coordinates:

HURRAY! Now you can make a dash for the cache! (west side of
path) Have fun trading and sign the log book. Please take time to
rehide the cache well. Many muggle children play in this magical
spot.
