Geocache Description:

(I know many cachers prefer simple P&Gs over thinking-required puzzles these days, but this cache takes you on a very easy journey and has a pretty cool finish, so I hope you non-puzzlers give it a chance)

This cache is not at the posted coordinates, but that is exactly where your journey begins...


The posted coordinates will take you to the parking lot entrance of Pineapple Park. Unlike some of my other caches, this adventure begins with you NOT climbing a tree.

Let me repeat that to make myself perfectly clear - To find this cache, the first thing you need to do is NOT climb this tree:

1/9/12 UPDATE: It's funny - I took that photo when I first posted this cache less than 3 years ago, and the tree has noticeably grown (and further crushed that poor sign) since then. Here is a photo I took today:

You will only be able to complete this cache between the following hours:
Mon: 12 PM - 8 PM
Tue: 9 AM - 5 PM
Wed: 9 AM - 8 PM
Th-Sat: 9 AM - 5 PM

You must sign the log book in order to claim a Find. The FTF Prize is a $10 Wal-Mart Gift Card. Good luck and have fun!

P.S. 6/21/14 - The hint is not helpful any more, but here's the explanation anyway: When I hid this, I also created a TerraCache called "Common Cents" that started in a different place and took cachers on a completely different journey, only to end up at the same place in the end. It was pretty cool, but that cache is disabled now, so the hint isn't really a hint any more.
