Geocache Description:

This kid-friendly, three stage multi will lead you along level ground around the east side of Crown Hill Park. Allow 30 minutes for a walk along the eastern boundary of this park. Downgraded ratings to make this cache accessible to all. Actual terrain: 2. Actual difficulty: 3.

The first waypoint may be the busiest location in the entire park. Please be stealthy. (WP#1 has been muggled multiple times--and so now it is immovable.)

The second waypoint is five minutes walk away. Every fifteen minutes a clock will chime loudly. See if you can identify where the sound is coming from.

The third and final waypoint is a camo pill bottle, about 10 minutes walk away. Search fence north of the tree stump.

Can you guess why this cache is called The Cremation of Sam McGee? It's the title of one of my favorite poems by Robert W. Service.
