Geocache Description:

Get to know Colonel Summers Park a little better through paying attention to the details. This cache would be more enjoyable in the earlier hours of the day before the hipsters come out to play. While morning is best, I really don't suggest doing this cache after the sun starts to set.

In order to find this cache you must comb Colonel Summers' Park for clues. Answer the questions below and the coordinates will be your reward. 

1. Which of the following pieces of play equipment IS NOT present at Colonel Summers’ Park?

Baseball Diamond B= 1
Basketball Court B= 2

3. There are several types of swings on the playground. How many swings are there total? (Be sure to include all types)

Total # of swings = C

4. There are several green and white Leash Law signs throughout the park, some presenting more information than others. Some of the signs tell us that if you forget to scoop your dog's poop you may be fined up to $1D0.

5. Find the wooden structure in the playground where you can pretend to be a captain. Bonus points if you post a photo of you steering the “boat”! How many wooden platforms are on this structure? Note: Be sure to count the “island” connected through the blue “sea.”

(# of platforms) – 4 = E

A Labyrinth F= 3
Hop Scotch F= 5

8. Find the large rock with the tribute to Colonel Summers on it. I’m no therapist, but I’d say his feelings are pretty obvious. How is Colonel Summers feeling?

Happy (Look at that toothy grin) H= 2
Sad (He’s crying, after all) H= 8 [The "tears" have washed away some. This is the correct answer.]
Impatient (He’s tapping his foot) H= 9
Emo (Nothing matters …) H= 1
