Geocache Description:

Nice un-busy park in the older part of Benbrook. Activities include baseball and soccer fields, picnic tables, biking/hiking trails, wading, rope swing, frisbee golf and horse stables.

This is a five part multi-cache. We borrowed some ideas from some local multi-caches. Good GPS readings are difficult to get so we averaged for 20 minutes on one visit, then returned another day with 2 GPSs so hopefully you won't have much trouble finding the waypoints. This is a good one for trash out. Be wary of the usual thorns, poison oak, etc. The fifth waypoint is the actual cache, which is in a medium sized Rubbermaid container wrapped in a black trash bag. Please replace carefully so it remains hidden. The cache contains Erythrocin the Pig travel bug, first place button for the first finder, a VHS movie, a lottery ticket worth up to $1000, and a few other toys etc. Cache is small and full so bring small items or take the movie to make room!
Look high, look low, look in, look out and you'll see what this cache is all about.
Waypoint #1 #2, #4 and #5 are prettty straight-forward.
