Geowife and I walk this area regularly and decided it needed a
cache to make it more interesting. Easy multicache along the ½ mile
long boardwalk with a moderately difficult final. There is plenty
of free parking on street so no need to use the pay parking lot.
The above cords will take you to the first waypoint. There are
three waypoints to this cache and then the final. No need to load
all three waypoints into your gps, just follow the boardwalk. At
each waypoint you will find an information board. Read each board
and write down the answers to a few simple questions. Keep the
answers to the questions as you will need them to calculate the
location of the final cache. Be accurate in your spelling as
mistakes may alter the coordinates to the final. Please use stealth
during your hunt as this is a high muggle area! Happy geocaching
and enjoy the beach!
NOTE: UPDATE 5/9/2011 LOOKS LIKE HEAVY
CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA. PARKING MAY BE AN ISSUE ON SOME
DAYS.

To calculate the coordinates to the final cache location you must
use the answers you found at the first three waypoints. Be accurate
in your spelling as mistakes may alter the coordinates to the
final. Please no mention of container size, shape, location etc. in
your logs or they will be deleted. Happy geocaching and enjoy the
beach, walk and the hunt!
