From Wikipedia:
"A corner is the place where two lines of different dimensions
meet at an angle, and a convex corner of intersecting walls is
generally thought to be the least beneficial position to be in a
life-or-death situation. From this notion was born the verb to
corner, which is used to mean "To back (another person or animal)
into a corner" and usually also carries a connotation of foul play.
Corners have been the subject of many modernist novels, whose
protagonists customarily develop fascinating new corners and places
to put them.
In square dance, corner refers to the person you are adjacent to
who is not your partner. In standard positioning (boy on the left,
girl on the right), this would be for men (or gents) the person
standing to one's left, and for ladies the person standing to one's
right. In square dance one will often change partners and corners
during the course of a dance, in which case one can distinguish
between the "original corner" and a "situational corner".
In sports such as football (soccer) or boxing, corner may refer
to a person or position (cornerman). In ice hockey, corners are the
curvatures in the rink where the long side boards and shorter end
boards meet. A corner can also mean a bend in a road or a turn on a
race track. Taking a corner better than the other drivers is key in
true motor racing, such as Formula One, the World Rally
Championship, etc.
In most fighting video games, the edge of the stage is referred
to as the "corner," because much like a corner in a wall, it is
typically a disadvantageous position, which allows for more
combination attacks and makes escaping offensive pressure
significantly more difficult.
A corner is also used in geography, such as the Four Corners
Monument in the United States, marking the corner of state boundary
lines." It is also used in geocaching, such as in this cache.
How many corners do you think are in Patriot Park? Four?
Fourteen? Forty? Four hundred? Who knows! Who cares! Your job is to
find this corner.... and the cache in so doing. Good luck!
WARNING: As with all games played in the
outdoors, ticks and such can be a problem. Consider using DEEP
WOODS OFF, or something similar, and do a thorough tick check after
exiting the cache area and prior to getting into your vehicle.
Also, season dependent - thorns, rain, mud, ice, and snow
can change the terrain/difficulty ratings.
