Geocache Description:

Use the provided coordinates for parking located at Earle Park and the Connecticut Audubon Society. 


The Great Pumpkin has gone missing, and it's up to you to save Halloween! The only one who knows where he is hidden is "Gourdie," a magnetic nano hanging out near a swamp. 

In order to find Gourdie's coordinates, you must first track down "Trick" and "Treat", hidden separately in this park.

These caches were hidden with the intent of being kid-friendly, and should be a fun walk through Earle Park. No bushwhacking required for any of the series - all caches are hidden directly off the trail. Be sure to stop in and say hello to the furry and feathered friends inside the Audubon Society, which is open Tuesday-Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm and Sunday 1:00pm-4:00pm (they are closed Mondays). In the autumn, The Old Cider Mill is just down the road for some fresh apple cider and cider donuts. 

Earle Park closes half an hour after sunset. Pets are allowed on-leash. There are a number of cross-country horse jumps within the park. 
 
The Great Pumpkin is a .50 cal ammo can. There is a letterbox hidden nearby.  Due to some bounce in the area, the hint is a dead give-away. 

CONGRATULATIONS FIVE WOODS ON FTF!!!

July 2013: Gourdie 1, the magnetic nano, was lost. He is now replaced with Gourdie 2, a traditional micro.
