You can do this cache one of
two ways...you can either download a .gpx file (see below)
and follow the track on your GPSr OR you can follow
turn-by-turn instructions. No matter which you choose,
pay attention, take notes and fill-in the blanks below to
find the final.
The coordinates are NOT the location of the cache, but are
the starting point. The coordinates are for a parking lot that is
adjacent to the start point, which is marked as "Mile 1".
If you want to do this cache by following a track with your
GPSr you'll need to download this gpx
file to your GPSr and go to the coordinates listed on this
page. Then, follow the track that's loaded into your
GPSr.
If you want to do this cache by
following directions:
- Park
anywhere in the parking lot that is near the above
coordinates.
- Go
to the nearby trail. Start at "Mile 1".
- Follow the trail south.
- When
the trail forks, go right and follow it around the loop to the
bridge.
- Cross the bridge, and go south and uphill to the little
park.
- Go
up either the ramp or steps up to West View Pl. and Boulder
Crescent Ave.
- Walk
on the LEFT HAND SIDE of Boulder Crescent Street, around to Cascade
Ave.
- Walk
north a short distance to the next street and go left.
- Walk
west to the end.
- Walk
north through the parking lot to the next street.
- Go
east to the next street and WITHOUT CROSSING THE STREET, turn
north.
- Go
north to the very next street.
- WITHOUT CROSSING THE STREET, turn left.
- I
hope you took notes!
As you follow the track or
directions, look for the answers to the following questions. They
are in the order that you will encounter them.
1. What is the number on the white label on
the "in ground" power vault? A__ B__ C__ D__ E__ F__
2. What is the number on the pool house? G__ H__ I__
3. What is the distance to the right field foul pole? J__ K__
L__
4. What is the closing time of the park on November 2nd? M__
5. What is the number on the first fire hydrant you see after
continuing past clue #4? N__
6. What are the numbers on the fire hydrant nearest the south east
corner of the "506" house with purple trim? O__ P__ Q__
7. What are the numbers on the pole nearest to where Beverly meets
Will? R__ S__ T__ U__ V__ W__
The final is located at: N38 (F) (P+N).
(G+H+J) (B+C) (F)
W104 (O) (U). (W+S+Q) (M) (K)
You cannot drive this cache. You
will either have to bike or hike it. The track will take you on a
dirt trail, side walk and through a parking lot.
The final is a small container with enough room for a log book and
a writing instrument. BYOP just in case one is missing. When you
log the find, indicate whether you did it by using the GPX file or
followed the "turn-by-turn" directions.
And finally, thanks to the Hikerron for planting the seed that
gave me the idea to create this cache.
