Geocache Description:

This cache deserves its name. There is a parking across the street from the trail head. You might need a pen and paper unless you're good with general math in your head.

Here is your puzzle. Starting at the bottom of the nearby steps.

Don't take one step up and one step back,
Keep on going or you will lack.
Instead, take 5 steps and 3 steps more,
Keep on counting and keeping score.
Then go 1 step, 2 steps, 3 steps, 4.
They each count as one so don't add any more. 

If you're out of breath you might need a break,
Keep on going for goodness sake.
If you have the energy skip over 8
Then you might as well go 9 and speed up your Heart rate.

Whatever you do, don't lose track,
For your stamina, you will lack. 
If you need to start over, just count to 10. 
Then go back and start those steps all over again.

11 steps up and 12 steps down,
Oops, the wrong way, you will need to turn around.
6 steps up and if you still think you have it in you,
add more steps, how about 22.

One step up and 2 steps down,
you're doing it again. you need to turn around.
Should we go 20 or 30? Let's go 40 steps more.
Hope you didn't mix up your numbers,
Have you been keeping score?

If you seem to run out of steps in between,
Look to the left but don't call me mean. ;)

You're are almost there, don't stop now.
If you're getting dizzy, take a bow.
Head between your knees, and breathe real slow,
OK, there is a cache awaiting you, GO, GO, GO!!!

If you go 6 more steps and look to the right,
you will not see that cache insight. 

But if you take 10 steps up and 12 steps back,
you used to find the cache there, in a crack.
Now you will have 27 more steps in-store,
And it's not on your right anymore.

HOPE YOU DIDN'T FORGET YOUR PEN,
BECAUSE IF YOU DID, YOU WILL HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN! 0;)
