This is a puzzle cache. The cache is located near a gravel parking area. There is a very slight uphill grade from the parking area to the cache location. The area directly around the cache is natural surface, and the cache is located less than 10 yards from the parking area.

*The posted coordinates listed are for the parking area. Answer the questions below in order to complete the coordinates for the cache.

Staunton River State Park is one of the original six state parks in Virginia. The park is tucked away neatly in Southside Virginia between the Dan and Staunton Rivers just at the threshold of Buggs Island Lake. The Staunton River State Park 75th Anniversary Geocaching Adventure is a puzzle cache. To find the missing numbers to complete the cache coordinates, visit the park’s website at http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state_parks/sta.shtml and read the general information about the park.

W C8° 40.0D0

The cache container is a regular-sized container (about the size of a shoe-box), and is hidden by natural ground cover. This cache will contain some interesting history about Staunton River State Park as well as Buggs Island Lake, a log book, a collector's card, as well as first, second, and third to find gifts.
This cache was part of the 2011 Virginia State Parks 75th Anniversary Geocaching Adventure. This series ended on December 15, 2011. However, the park has taken over this cache so it is still active. Rewards are no longer available for this cache, but we will be launching the Virginia State Park Blooming Adventure in March 2012. For upcoming information on the new series go to: www.virginiaoutdoors.com.
