Geocache Description:

Replacement geocache for “Plaza Park Pagoda” (GC2BTGT), which was hidden in a tree that subsequently succumbed to disease. Parking available on the north edge of Plaza Park, then walk to the cache. Log only. Bring your own pencil (or functional equivalent). I’m not kidding. Cache is wheelchair friendly but requires some hand gripping to access.


Come find this geocache and learn some of the history of Oxnard’s downtown Plaza Park and its landmark Pagoda structure!  Muggles are constantly present at the Pagoda itself with the recent installation of benches around its base, so I have placed this new hide at the edge of the park to minimize the muggle factor a bit, but, as always, please be stealthy.  Best to grab the log sheet then sit down at one of the park benches (or even the nearby bus stop) to read it and sign it then come back to replace it.


Micro-sized hide with internal space enough only for the log sheet itself.  Bring your own pencil (or functional equivalent).  A standard yellow Dixon Ticonderoga #2 with one end that you sharpen and an eraser at the other end is perfect!  A pen may or may not be.  A sharpie marker is not appropriate.



***Congratulations to Havilah Spigs for the FTF! For this one, the abbreviation "FTF" doesn't only stand for "First to Find", it also stands for "First to FigureItOut".***
