Geocache Description:

**THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES**

This Cache wil take you around Newell Park. There are plenty of awesome things to do there, besides geocache.

The Final Coordinates are N AB° CD.EFG W 093° H.JKL

• To start, go to the coordinates listed on the site. There will be a sign. What is the maximum number of feet a dog leash can be?
     Add 4 to that number, and replace H with it.

• Start walking north towards the playground. Just past the playground, there is a drinking fountain. What are the three letters on the button that starts the fountain?
     If the letters are:
MDF, then replace CD with 58.
GDC, then replace CD with 56.
NRP, then replace CD with 57.


• Walk down the hill towards the picnic tables (See Additional Coordinates). What number do you have to call to make a reservation?
   Take the second group of three numbers, and subtract 145 from it. replace JKL with that number. For Instance, if the number was 651-555-3214, then you would subtract 145 from 555.

• Next, walk to the Newell Park sign (see Additional Coordinates). What 3 digit number is stuck to the sign?
   Subtract 899 from that number, and replace EFG with it.

• Now, walk south on the western boundary of the park, then cross the street to the tennis courts. Read the rules of the court, which are posted on a sign. How long are you suppose to play for?
subtract 1 from that number, and replace AB with that number.

By now, You should have the final coordinates.  You can plug them into your GPS, and go hunt. The final stage is somewhere in Newell Park.
