Geocache Description:


As we scoured the map for fun locations to place a short series, we noticed that a there were several smaller parks in Burbank with no caches and a few larger parks that could fit an additional cache. Let's give a bit of love to these hidden - and not so hidden - Burbank gems.

This cache is the finale of our Burbank Parks Dash series. THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES. There's no need to visit the listed coordinates, but they're in the same park where you'll find the final cache once you assemble the actual coordinates.

The final cache is in Verdugo Park, which has a couple tennis courts, a community center, and some smaller grassy areas. The actual coordinates are:

N 34° 09.ABC
W 118° 20.DEF

In order to get the values for the letters A-F above, you'll need to visit the six other caches in this series and make note of the information listed in the headers of the log sheets of those caches. Each cache will give you the value of one of the letters above. Those six caches are:

Burbank Parks Dash - Whitnall Hwy. North (GC1HGHQ)
Burbank Parks Dash - Valley (GC1HGJ4)
Burbank Parks Dash - Gross (GC1HGJN)
Burbank Parks Dash - Lundigan (GC1HGK9)
Burbank Parks Dash - Maxam (GC1N1JA)
Burbank Parks Dash - Izay (GC1HGKV)

Once you get to the final location, you're looking for a round Altoids container. Please bring your own writing utensil. There's a very modest reward for the efforts of the FTF!

This isn't an overly tricky or tough puzzle; the difficulty rating only reflects the cumulative time and effort it will take to find the other six caches before finding this one.

***Congratulations to So. Cal Desert Rats on being the first to log finds on the whole series and congratulations to collin&daddy on being the first to find the final cache.***
