Cache Details:
This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

At the posted coordinates, there is a information sign titled Northern Delaware Greenway. Look at only the bottom map section on the page called "Northern delaware Greenway--detailed view" Use ONLY the right hand column of this map legion to solve for three of the four missing numbers:

A-Using only the letters in the Facilities list, count the number of capital P's
B-In the Facilities list, count the number of letters in the last word
C-The number of capital B's (again use only those in the Facilities list)

Now walk to the nearby footbridge and using the small metal plaque:
D-The first number in the phone number on plaque

Check Sums A+B=12 and C+D=8
Cache is less than 0.1 miles away.

The cache is in the area of Mile 2 in the Belleview State Park. If you don’t have a state park sticker, payment envelopes are available in the Cauffiel House parking lot for the $4 (DE) or $8 (out of state) fee March through November. This is the only close legal parking. Your receipt for any one day is good for entry into all other Delaware State Parks on the same day.


Description:
The Northern Delaware Greenway Trail begins at Fox Point State Park, along the Delaware River, and winds through north Wilmington passing through Bellevue, Bringhurst Woods, Rockwood Manor, Alapocas Run, Brandywine and Fletcher Brown Parks ending along the Brandywine Creek. The trail connects recreational, historic and natural resources, while providing the community with a safe place to be active. There is a currently a break between Mile 1 and 2 due to the Interstate, but someday there may be money to link the two sections.
