Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Geocache Description:

Kansas City ranks second in the world in number of fountains erected in the city. Only Rome, Italy, has more. This is one in the series of fountain caches honoring this distinction.

This is a 2 stage cache. The coordinates provided above take you to a fountain in Zona Rosa known as The Frogs which was erected in 2009. The Frogs fountain was designed and cast by John McCoy from Lawrence, Kansas and cost over $1 million. Each frog shoots water and while it is beautiful in the day time it has another dimension of beauty at night, as each frog emits a light that is visible in the water that each frog shoots. However, if the wind is over 3 miles per hour the frogs sitting on the tree stumps will not shoot water. If the wind is over 10 miles per hour none of the frogs will shoot water. Also the fountain turns off at 10:00 pm. Stage 2 requires extreme stealthiness. Please replace the stage 2 cache exactly as you found it.

The coordinates below are to stage 2 and are partial coordinates. You must answer each of the following questions in order to complete the coordinates for stage 2. The cache at stage two is a micro size cache.
