Geocache Description:


Kirkland is peppered with public pathways. Some are short and some are long. In some cases, you are stuck between two high fences while others are wide open. Some give you nice views and in others, you seem to be in somebody's backyard. They always have a sign saying 'public pathway' but occasionally will have a sign saying 'private property' right above it. Some even have locked doors. Today you'll visit a few of these pathways in the Central Houghton neighborhood.

Let's get started. Park near the given coordinates. You should see two six digit numbers in yellow. As you do the stroll look for more such numbers. I suggest you write them down on a map.

Go south to the first public pathway. Go left and continue on the street. At the intersection do a little jog and continue southward. You should see another public pathway. At the end of the path, turn right and go down the hill. Go right, you should see yet another public pathway. Continue northward.

Near the end of the street is your last opportunity to find a set of yellow numbers.

Now the tricky part, the final is located at a location which should have numbers 224417/166309 (approximate) but there are no such numbers.

You do not need to step on any vegetation to find this cache.

Congrats to DrTusk and _Shadow_ on the FTF
