Geocache Description:

This cache is an ammo can hidden in Lt. Carey A. Arthur Memorial Park.

The listed coordinates will take you to a large double trunk tree. There are 6 brightly colored painted egg shaped rocks hidden around the base of the tree. The eggs are close to the tree, it is not necessary to climb the rocks up the hill to search for eggs. Each egg has a letter and a number that you will need to locate the final. The location of the ammo can is:

N 40° 59.ABC W 074° 15.DEF

The "B" egg seems to be missing, so until I can get out there to replace it, B=8.

There are two ways to approach this cache. The first is to park at the main park entrance on a gravel pulloff on Indian Road at the intersection of Osceola Road. There is a playground, picnic tables and a field. At the far end of the field there is a trail head. The trail can be followed about half the distance to the Easter Eggs (until you get to the giant boulder), then it ends. Once the trail ends, you must bushwack the rest of the way. The total distance from this direction is about .5 miles.

The second way to approach this cache is to park at the end of Cheyenne Way. There is a service road leading from the dead end to a water tower/tank. The road is pretty steep, but at the top, right before the tower, there is a trail leading off to the right. That trail can be followed for a short distance, and then there is a short bushwack to where the Eggs are hidden. The total distance from this direction is just over .25 miles.
