Geocache Description:

A multi-cache that visits the many parks in Pullman, WA. The difficulty is only from the fact you have to travel all over Pullman.

At first I was going to just make this a massive multi-cache with 23 waypoints (including the final) but figured that only a few cachers would then try to attempt the cache, so I had to split it up into three different multi-caches to make it more manageable. Pullman Parks Run 1, Pullman Parks Run 2, and Pullman Parks Run 3.

The final cache to Pullman Parks Run 1 has an added bonus; a cheat sheet to the infamous Diabolical Series. It will not give you the answers, but it will contain useful information to help solve the puzzles.

Need another reason?

You will have to visit all of the waypoint stages to obtain the coordinates of the final cache. This multi-cache is not designed to be hard, but it will take some time, so plan for it.
