Geocache Description:


The Location:

Heuser Park in Upper Merion Township was constructed on the former impound basin #23 and it has become a popular recreation spot. It touts biking and walking trails, playing fields and playground equipment. Picnic tables and restrooms are available...

The Series:

One of a series of caches hidden in Heuser Park in Upper Merion Township... We've collectively named the series Heuser Park Quad. Clues in four of the caches are needed to find a fifth cache, all hidden on park property. Finds on all caches in the series can be easily made in one visit.

NOTE: Due to some (although appreciated) log replacements in the field, the clues and even some containers had gone missing. Although there is currently a cache for each location in the series, I am providing the coords to the final until I can update these with some new clues...See HINTS...


Although a couple in the series may be a tad more challenging, these are not meant to be overly difficult...just a variety of hides to provide some caching fun and a nice stroll around the park!

The Cache:

This is the final in the Heuser Park Quad series.

CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES
There is no need to go into the construction area indicated at the listed coordinates

The cache itself is a medium sized, camoed lock-n-lock hidden on the park property.

You need to find at least two of these other four caches to obtain clues to this last cache in the series. Record the numeric clues (A-F) from each cache log (listed 3 per cache).

Heuser Park Quad - "Bee" Happy! (GC2THGC)
Heuser Park Quad - One of these things... (GC2THKG)
Heuser Park Quad - ?Split?Personality? (GC2THNZ)
Heuser Park Quad - Deep in the middle of it all (GC2THJE)

The clues are simple. Just the decimal minutes defined by:

N 40 06.ABC
W 075 23.DEF

A-F are listed, 3 per cache, on the log of each cache listed above, so it should be easy to determine and/or confirm all six values, and you may not need to find all four to get to the final.

Depending on time of year, there may be some minor bushwhacking at the cache

FTF Prize is an un-activated micro FTF coin and first choice of the "lavish" (or, not so lavish) swag we've packed the cache container with.

Several cachers have picked up ticks while hunting this cache. Please take appropriate precautions and check yourself and especially kids, after your hunt!
