Geocache Description:

Seven stage multi in RF&P Park, starting with a puzzle. The difficulty rating is a 3 because the muggle factor can be quite high at times.

When I first started geocaching, I was intimidated by multi stage caches. One of the first that I did was by IDP. As I was just learning how things can be hidden, I was not able to find the first stage, but got help from the owner. IDP also gave me one of my first big challenges, their CH-one tribute in the RF&P park (part of the Meadow Farm park complex).

The above listed coordinates do not take you to the first stage of the cache. I have started the cache as a puzzle - I don't like puzzles!! The puzzle will lead you to the first stage of a seven stage multi in the RF&P park. What you need to solve the puzzle is in front of you. I hope this cache will be my version of geocaching 101 for new geocachers. If you use the hints, the cache should not be too hard. Have some fun and take a stroll in the park.

Important Note: Never ever, ever look for stage 6 during a baseball game at the new RF&P stadium. Hundreds of people may be watching you. No way around that.

N 37 40.ABC

W 77 30.DEF

A = violet, B = orange, C = green, D = grey, E = yellow, F = yellow

The final stage is an ammo can. For the FTF, a Starbucks gift card. Other swag - 3 nanos with logs, 4 carabiners, batteries for GPSr, LED flashlights/key rings, pedometer, 2 DVDs, stopwatch, unactivated travel bug tag.
