Geocache Description:

This is a nice little park in Vancouver that gets no notice. You will find a great place to picnic and let the kid’s work of some steam. The coordinates listed are where you start your adventure, but not where the cache is located. Please note all bearings use magnetic north.

Operation: Critter Chase

Can you find this critter’s cache? It should not be too hard, but you will have follow his trail exactly to get to the secret location. At the starting position stop and take a good look around, for this is where your adventure begins. You will need to walk 158 feet at a bearing of: The number of swings times the number of picnic tables plus 112.

Well, if you did that right you should be looking at the critter’s first activity. I am sure he went up there. I would not bother looking for his secret stash here, but go on up. On the way count the number of steps. Now, don’t be counting the platform as a step. If you are brave take the quick way down. From here walk 334 feet at a bearing of: The number of steps times 10, plus the number of picnic tables times 30 and add 28. Now move out!

Well here we are. We are here right? Ok count the number of long boards, but don’t bother to look for secrets here. I am sure that pesky critter is long gone by now. Walk 215 feet at a bearing of the number of boards times 10. Wait! Subtract 21 from that bearing and be on your way.

Could the cache be here? It looks like a place where a critter would hide his stash. Actually, don’t waste your time looking around here. He may have had a snack here though. The tree does kind of look like a fork. How many teeth does it have? Walk 311 feet at a bearing of the teeth times 100. But before you go be sure to subtract 18 from that bearing or you will not get there.

Congratulations! You have made it to the critter’s secret hiding place. This is a critter themed cache so please take a critter, but if you do please leave one behind. See the hint if you get stuck. You are looking for a Lock'n'Lock 5x4 camouflaged container. Please make sure you put it back just as you found it. Thanks for playing!
