Geocache Description:


Bring the kids along with you to play in the park and give you a hand solving the clues.

At the final location you are looking for a bison tube at the final location, but I promise it's not one of the miniature ones. Please place it back just as you find it. It is a short distance down a trail from the playground.

This only involves the park and objects on the same side of road as the playground.

The final coordinates are: N CD° A.F,cow,Pig / W 0BE° fish,zebra plus fish.H,dog,E

The posted coordinates are for parking and are also where you get your first bit of information from a couple signs. From this location, determine the following.

A = Add together each of the individual numbers for the alcohol Viol. Sec.

B = The seventh number listed for the Kansas City Parks & Recreation phone number.

C = The sixth number listed for the Kansas City Parks & Recreation phone number.

Now, head up the hill to the playground. Once at the playground you will find the rest of the information you are looking for to solve the final coordinates.

D = The number of black decorative light poles in the park multiplied by the same number.

E = The number of picnic tables.

F = The smallest number on the RPM gauge at the steering wheel for the all green panel....NOT the fire truck one.

G = At this same steering wheel how many different gauges are there.

H = The number of yellow benches.

Go to the animals and spin them around for this next set of numbers. Put in alphabetic order, using the first letter what each of the animals is that you can create. Then assign numbers 1-6 to them based on that order. To get you started, lizard will equal 4.

Due to trail conditions and extreme overgrowth this cache was moved in May of 2013. After completing the puzzle above and coming up with the coordinates you now need to project a waypoint at 342 degrees for 209 feet to achieve the final location.

Permission to place has been granted by Kansas City Parks & Recreation.
