Geocache Description:


The above coordinates are not correct. They will lead you to the parking spot for the final destination.
This container is no longer a lock-n-lock but has been changed to a bison tube still located just 10 feet off the walking trail in Windsor Castle Park.

NOTE: While you may use a bicycle to gather your clues around town, bicycles are NOT ALLOWED at the final. Please secure your bike using the bike racks in the parking lot.
