Veteran's Park Tour of Duty Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

ArtieD: I have replaced the final container a couple times now, and with the encroachment of the disc golf circuit here, the final area is no longer viable. Thus, this cache is gone. Thanks to those who have found it.

Geocache Description:

This multicache will introduce you to some of the nice features of Veteran's Park. There is some park road crossing so be careful, especially if you have kids along.

The coordinates above will lead you to a marker.

Waypoint 1: At this marker you need to use some of the information on it to make it to the second waypoint. To get to the second waypoint, you need to find the last two digits of the year that’s on this marker. Use these last two digits to complete the following set of coordinates:

N 38* 51.197 W 091* 56.2__

Waypoint 2: Once you have reached step two, find the last four digits of the phone number posted at this location. To get to the third waypoint, assign each number a letter starting with "A" working up (i.e., 7302…7 = A, 3 = B, 0 = C & 2 = D) and fill in the gaps in this set of coordinates:

N 38* 51.BAC W D91* 56.223

Waypoint 3: When you have reached the third stage, look for a set of three letters carved in stone to get to the next stage. What you need to do is add up the total numerical value of the three letters, using this system: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc. Once you have done this, put the total number in the blank area of these coordinates to get to the next stage:

N 38* 51.__7 W 091* 56.206

Waypoint 4: At this stage, count the number of large (at least 1-2’ long) orange-red rocks used for seating. Put this number in the blank area of these coordinates to go to step five:

N 38* 51.3__ W 091* 56.162

Waypoint 5: To get to the final cache (I know…finally, eh?) you need to count the number of pillars supporting the structure AND find the year listed on a plaque attached to it.. What you need to do is enter the number of columns in the blank in this final set of waypoints and enter the digits of the year in the manner you did at Waypoint 2…like so:

N 3D* 5A.2_C W 0B1* 56.275

From here, it’s an easy walk to the final cache, which is a camo-taped container.

Thanks for doing it and taking a tour of our Veteran’s Park!
