Loyce E. Harpe Park, formerly known as Carter Road Park, is located in Polk County, Florida. The park includes four softball fields, eight Little League baseball fields, and six soccer fields. In addition, there is a mountain bicycle trail and fishing. A dog park, DiOGi Park, opened on July 14, 2007. The park is host to various special events produced by Polk County Leisure Services throughout the year, with the Haunted Halloween Hayride and Happenings (end of October) as the largest event featured.
The park is named after Loyce E. Harpe, who was the county's first parks and recreation director. Mr. Harpe served as a parks and recreation professional during most of his 31 years in public service.
The park was officially dedicated and renamed on June 24, 2006 after Mr. Harpe. Loyce Harpe was born on February 13, 1944 and died on April 5, 2005.
Bikers use the trails. If you see them on the trail give them some room and let them pass. Dogs are not allowed on the bike trails.
This cache is a "special" multi using a wireless beacon, and it only works with a GPSr that receives the wireless beacon signal. Whatever unit you use make sure you have the latest firmware.
Simply go to the posted coordinates, and your GPSr, that accepts the signal from a wireless beacon, will receive coordinates for the final stage. After a short walk you will find yourself at the final stage.
If you have trouble, make sure that you have the correct device, latest firmware (your geocaching icon should be an open treasure box), make sure that chirp searching is turned on in Setup>Geocaching, and that the heart rate monitor is turned off. If you can't enable chirp searching in your Setup>Geocaching menu, then you don't have the right device/firmware.
Again, you must use a GPSr that can receive coordinates to the final stage while at the posted coordinates. Physically finding the wireless beacon won't help. It has been programmed by my GPSr and won't work with another GPSr.
The cache container is one that was bought by the Geowoodstock committee and the plan was to use them as a fundraiser for the event.
