Geocache Description:

This is a three-part multicache that will take you to Realtor Park and Webber Park in Rock Island to gather information leading you to the cache, a micro located just outside Webber Park.

I wanted to place a cache in each of the Rock Island parks; however, current policy requires park-board approval of the cache and location, removal of the cache by March 31, and resubmission for 1-year park board approval if the cache is relocated within the park. Therefore, I am creating a series of 3-part multicaches that take you to two different Rock Island parks for information leading to the coordinates for a micro cache located near, but just outside, the second park you visit.

For all you will need your own pen. For some you may want an extraction device.

Realtor Park has backetball court and picnic area.

Webber Park has basketball court, sledding, picnic area, and playground equipment.

Part 1
The above coordinates take you to a yellow sign for the park, but it doesn't have the name Realtor Park on it. (APPARENTLY, THE YELLOW SIGN IS NO LONGER THERE, SO i HAVE GIVEN THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS BELOW THAT RELY ON THE SIGN. LOOK FOR THE PATH BETWEEN THE HOUSES ALONG THE FENCE.) There you will see a broken-up blacktop path, with a silver pole in the center of it, along a red wooden fence between 2 houses that take you back (east) to the park to get information to answer the following questions:

How many basketball hoops are in the park? A____

How many trees are in the park? B____

Back to the street and the yellow sign, how many words are on that sign? C__1__

How many letters are on that sign? D_10___

Part 2
Now go to Webber Park at N 41° 30.359 W 090° 33.396 to answer the following questions:

How many pillars are there? E____

How many benches are near the pillars? F____

How many boards are in each bench? G____

Part 3
Now figure out the coordinates for the cache located just outside Webber Park:

N 41° 30.(F) (G) (D–B-C) W 090° 33.(E-D-G) (C) (A+B)
