Geocache Description:

Park is open dawn to dusk. Log only cache. Bring your own pen.

Short three-stage multi.

We're glad to see the community make this area into such a lovely park. As you wander around, try to envision what daily life would have been like, way back when...

Stage 1: Start at the posted coordinates.

A = (# of pets in the drawing) + (the last digit of the year the backhoe trenches excavated the parcel)
B = (# of huts) -1
C = A - B
D = A - C + 1
E = (2 x D) + B

Proceed to
N 32 15.BAA
W 110 49.EDC

Stage 2:

F = [find the type of plant they cultivated and count the # shown on the drawing (excluding the legend)] - 1
G = (count # of letters in the name of the second crop mentioned as "common crops") - D
H = G - D
I = A - F + H
J = (2 x C) - (F x G)

Proceed to
N 32 15.GHB
W 110 FA.EFE

Stage 3

K = # of letters in the name of the city (just city, not country too) from which the drawing of the ceramic platter was taken
L = K - J
M = # of shell jewelry
N = (2 x D) - (G + B)

Proceed to Final at
N 32 NL.GCJ
W 110 MA.EJL
