Going Around the Grove Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Zeeland5: I stopped by and picked up the stages here today. All but the final, that is. The grounds crew must've taken care of it when they winterized the park.
I never liked the final as much as I did the other stages. I've been giving it some thought lately, but could never figure out how to make it the way I want without dropping a chunk of change.
At almost six years, this cache has had a pretty good run, and hopefully caused a few seekers to scratch their head. Better yet, maybe Drenthe Grove is a place they'll return to, cache or not.

Geocache Description:

10 years of finding caches = time to place a 4 stage multi-cache!

Bring the kids for a nice stroll around a neat little country park. This cache has been placed to celebrate our ten years of finding caches. Our first find, Riley's Ski, (visit link) is still active!

The difficulty rating is only for the most challenging stage. All vary in difficulty, with NO CLIMBING involved and NOTHING at all to take apart. Each is reminiscent of caches gone by. How many are familiar to you?

From www.zeelandtwp.org:
Drenthe Community Grove is a 20 acre parcel of land located at 615 68th Ave. The Grove has playground equipment, a ball field, a beach volleyball court, 2 tennis courts, basketball court, and shaded picnic areas open to the public. There is also a .7 mile paved walkway, fishing pond and a picnic shelter, We invite you to come make use of the current facilities when you have time to relax or exercise.

CONGRATULATIONS to MBQS and BoxmanCrew for their shared FTF - sans sunlight on 11/20/12 !!!
