Please record DNF's if you don't find the cache. This cache is part of a “river” theme by RiverLedge. This cache may be part of a future Bonus Cache...if so, you'll know exactly where to look.
Favorite points are appreciated. This cache is located near the former Riverlawn Elementary School, which was opened in 1948. It remained in use until a new school opened in 2009, which is located about a half-mile away. The building is still used for various public functions, and the ball fields are still in use for rec league games. There are also a couple of different playgrounds at the site for kids to play on, even though some pieces of the equipment have seen their glory days long ago. There should be plenty of parking available, and muggle traffic is very light and sporadic, even with rec league games going on. The trees made consistent coordinate readings a little difficult, but the hint will get you very close. If you don't find it, be sure to post it so that we can know people are at least looking for it...and possibly adjust the difficulty if needed. Have fun with the hunt.
Congrats to dauphingurl on the FTF.
