The highest part of this park overlooks the Mill Creek valley. It's a beautiful view - bring your camera! This is a multi-puzzle hybrid. A 3 part multi-stage would COULD take as little as a 1/2 hour from finding the 1st stage to back on the road.
The difficulty 5 is due to a special equipment, but you don't need to own or bring any, there is some close by you can borrow....
The coordinates above are the first stage. A small container with some keys in it. The keys hold the clues to the second and third stages. All 3 stages are in the same park.
Stage 2 is located at:
N 39 15. _ _ _
W 084 24._ _ _
Where the key gives you the last six numbers. There are 2 small containers at Stage 2 with the coordinates for the final.
Stage 3 : The key gives you the clues for this stage as well. These clues are more graphical in nature versus numerical. You might be able to go right to the final if you are observant enough.
This final cache location has been problematic. I have replaced the container with one that should continue to be accessible. If it cannot be reached I placed a second log in a light pole nearest to GZ. Please alert me if the final is an issue - thanks.
(Note: there are 2 keys in the 1st stage to minimize the chance that you show up and some one else has "checked out" the key and is busy using it. If both are checked out, you might want to wait 5 minutes and they should be back.)
NOTE: You CANNOT read the keys with the device you would normally use to write to them. There are at least two places within 1/4 mile (5 minute drive) where the keys can be used - one is open 24 hrs.
