Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates!

The posted coordinates will take you to a sign titled Native Plant Demonstration Garden.

To determine the final North coodinates, use only the text box above the image of the Sand Coreopsis.
A) How many letters are in the 7th word?
B) How many letters are in the 15th word?
Multiply A times B and then subtract the result from the posted north coordinates.

To determine the final West coordinates, search the sign for the answers to the following questions:
C) How deep is the root system of the Prairie Dock?
D) The garden in front of the Nature Park office has not been artificially watered since October of what year? (Use the last digit only)
Add C and D and then add the result to the posted West coordinates.
