Geocache Description:

This is a quick multi located in a new park where there used to be a schoolhouse, thus the name Old Schoolhouse Park.

There is a small parking area off Ewen Ave. There is also a bus stop directly in front of the park.

When we moved to this area more than 12 years ago, this large corner lot was a storage yard for lamp standards, fencing, and all sorts of other city debris. It was truly an eyesore. In the last few years it was turned into the multi-use park you see today, with tennis courts, soccer fields, picnic area, and children's play area - including a great water feature. There are also 5 pieces of exercise equipment around the park.

Since there used to be a school here, we need a bit of reading, riting, and rithmetic:

The start coordinates and each of the waypoints take you to those pieces of equipment - but they're easy to find. There is an instruction label on each unit, at the top of which is the name of that exercise - and that is the information you need from each waypoint.

The cache is at N49 11.ABC W122 56.DEF

(WayPoint#/word#/letter#), so (3/1/4) would be the fourth letter of the first word at WP3, and remember the start coords are WP1.

AB = (1/2/1) + (3/1/4) + (5/1/1)
C = (2/1/1) + (4/1/1) - 2x(1/2/1)
DE = (5/1/4) + (3/2/3) - (1/3/1)
F = (4/1/3) - (5/2/3) - (3/2/3)

The container is (hopefully) well hidden, please use stealth when muggles are in the park and replace as found, so it stays around.
