Geocache Description:

The hunt for this cache will take you along a paved urban pathway, although you will be surrounded by nature along your way.

>>>DO NOT DO THIS CACHE AT NIGHT. NEARBY NEIGHBORS MAY CALL AUTHORITIES IF THEY SEE FLASHLIGHTS IN THE WOODS.

As you begin your walk, note one of the largest cottonwood trees in the area with extensive scaring possibly due to lightening strikes in the past.

Just beyond the large tree, you will see the "elephant." This is where an Addiction cache had been in place until part of the elephant broke off. You can still enjoy this large pachyderm, though.

There are peek-a-boo views of a small pond where you will often be able to spot ducks among the cattails and water lilies.

How to get there:

Park across the street from the given coordinates. At the given coordinates you will find a sign with a phone number on it. The phone number is small along the left side near the bottom of the sign. Call the last three digits of the phone number ABC.

The final hide is located at:

N 47° 05.(ABC-15) W 122° 38.(ABC+192)

Satellite readings vary greatly at this site. Please use the hint.
