Geocache Description:

This hide was inspired by a neat cache called San Jose Little Pictures (GCX3NT). The listed coordinates represent the starting point for this cache. The final location can be arrived by following the picture sequence below.

Begin at the initial coordinates, "spy" the item in photo 1 (one), and walk to it. From here you should be able to "spy" the location for photo 2 (two). Continue with this approach as you make your way around the park to collect six numbers (A, B, C, D, E, F) comprising the coordinates for the final waypoint as N 32° 46 . ABC / W 096° 45 . DEF -- the numbers are gleaned from questions below relating to specific spots (pictures 5, 18, 11, 35, 14, & 25) along your journey. Remember, the next spot can almost always be seen from the preceding spot but distances between the spots do fluctuate -- a pair of high powered binoculars may come in handy so bring 'em if you got 'em! ;-) If you would like to verify the coordinates you can do so on...
