How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:


You need four bases, bats, gloves, balls and a certain number of players to play nine innings or regulation baseball.
What is the deal with the oversized baggy uniform? What is the number of the your favourite player?
Do you understand the scoring system? Love? Love what?
How many soccer teams does Canada have playing at a national level?

The cache is not at the posted coordinates but is close enough to be within the guidelines and it will be found within the boundaries of a certain Town of Aurora Park.

When the land was divided up during the development of this neighbourhood the planners put a fair sized chunk of green space aside to turn into community parks. You will find lots of sporting opportunities near the actual cache location - soccer, baseball, tennis and basketball are all accomodated. There is even a great playground for kids, young and old. Plenty of room for frisbee, flag football or just running around burning off energy in the suburban outdoors. I have it on good authority that dogs love to play here, too.

When this particular park was built, I'm sure the planners thought they had all the bases covered. They didn't. From our perspective, this park was sadly lacking a geocache! But, not to worry, we have taken it upon ourselves to rectify the situation.

You might need to use one of these... ... to find one of these.

You didn't really think we'd make it this easy, did you?

Before you head out to exercise your body by adding geocaching to the list of sports playable in the park, you will need to exercise your grey matter. When you do head out... why not take some sporting equipment with you and have some fun?

The cache is a micro and has only a waterproof logbook inside. You will need to bring a pencil or permanent marker to write in it (don't bother trying to sign with ballpoint pen as it will wash right off the polyester sheets).

Although it pains me greatly to say this, as I prefer to use Firefox on Linux myself, this page will be best viewed on IE. (Ouch!) Please accept my profound appologies.

Black and white polygons.
Number of rectangles on the court surface.
How many points for a Swish?
