There is a VERY nice FTF prize that was given to me by my
sweetie for just such an occassion. I've also made this the maiden
cache for my Jeep travel bug. THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED
COORDINATES BUT SEVERAL IMPORTANT CLUES ARE FOUND HERE.
Okay - down to business. First, bring a notebook or scrap of
paper and something to write with, you need to make a few notes.
Your dog is welcome to travel along with you on this one, too. I
wouldn't recommend wee ones even though I took my 5 and 7 year olds
out to hide this. (I wished I hadn't.) BRING A HEAVY DUTY MOSQUITO
REPELLANT. The flying beasts here could carry one of great stature
long distances.
Next, keep this formula in mind for your final coordinates:
North AB CD.EFG
West HI JK.LMP
Prior to parking, take count of a few things: How many
handicapped spaces are there?
How many park rules are there? (NOT playground rules)
How many black barriers are there to keep you from driving into the
pavillion?
How many volleyball nets?
How many tennis courts?
How many basketball hoops?
Now, park and proceed to the above listed coordinates and a
specific bench. Have a seat. Only consider items in the area in
which you sit, not the entire park.
Now, make a few more notes...
How many benches are in the area in which you are sitting? (two
digit number)
How many swings are there? (single digit number)
How many stairs are facing you on the right? (single digit number)
How many trash cans are in the immediate vicinity? (single digit
number)
If you look to your left, how many times can you see the name of
the park you are in?
Look straight ahead. How many thin spindles are in the railing?
(Don't count the thicker ones)
A = the number of trash cans
B = the number of basketball goals plus the number of volleyball
nets
C = the number of handicapped spaces
D = half the number of park rules
E = the number of basketball hoops
F = the number of stairs minus the number of trash cans
G = the number of swings plus one
H = the number of times you see the name of the park times four
I = the number of rules divided by the number of trash cans
J = the number of parking spaces you used minus one
K = the number of thin spindles divided by 13
L = the number of benches minus the number of swings, minus the
number of trash cans
M = the number of barriers divided by 7
P = the number of tennis courts plus the number of basketball
hoops
Please email me if you are having trouble with the formula. If
you find any errors, please email me.
