Geocache Description:

THE FINAL STAGE OF THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES.

After a couple of stages went missing I decided to change this to a simple puzzle cache. Even kids will enjoy discovering the coordinates for the final stage of this geocache

This will take you on a tour through Shawnee's newest park. Admire the sculptures commemorating the pioneers that came through this area during the 1840's and 50's on their way Santa Fe, California, and Oregon. There are several plaques that provide a lot of interesting history as well. You should be able to get through this puzzle cache pretty quickly so enjoy your time is this neat park. The final stage is a regular size cylindrical lock'n'lock that is stocked full of swag for adults and kids.

Please replace the final cache EXACTLY WHERE & HOW YOU FOUND IT. Also, please do not put any spoilers in the logs. We don't want to ruin it for future geocachers.
