A special thanks to ‘Mom and I.’ for creating the
Playground Madness Series in 2002. Due to time constraints, the
series has been adopted by ‘HanSohn’.
Occasionally, the question is raised as to why this cache
(and series) isn't a puzzle cache. This series was established in
2002, when Geocaching was in its infancy, before there was a
subcategory of geocaches. In the spirit of history and tradition, I
will leave the status unchanged. Congratulations to those who have
worked their way through the series, as it was established, and
have found the finale!
