Geocache Description:


I remember when I was young my brothers and I would play "I spy". That is what we will be doing today. It all starts at the posted coordinates. The first thing that I noticed here were _ baseball fields. Head east and towards the playground. Near the playground there is a pavilion with _ vertical steal beams. Continue east by the playground but take note of the _ slides. Continuing along the trail you will notice _ yellow posts. Go uphill and keep your focus to the left you will see _ more yellow posts protecting dumpsters. Just after that and before the corner you will see _ trees that are low and umbrella shaped. Now you want to turn the corner and head south. As you continue on you will notice a sign to your left with _ people on it and _ are hikers. This could be a little tricky. Keep in mind that some signs have two sides. It will be time to head west at the corner. Here you will be able to see the legal limit of travel on the street below. Usain Bolt could break this speed but you should take a slower speed so that you can count _ guardrails are on this side of the park. As you walk along counting guardrails you will reach the point across from the beginning. Here there is a bench that is mostly fenced in. There are _ posts holding it up. Now at the corner continue to travel north and head uphill, and back to the start. Up on the ridge you will see yet another group of _ trees low to the ground with twisted trunks. Now you can go back and figure out the final or just grab a seat on the hill. Lets get started. Take the two groups of trees and add them together. Take this number and multiply the number of baseball fields. Add the speed limit with your number and then add the number of slides. Now, take your number and divide by the number of hikers. Take the updated number add all yellow posts you observed. Now divide by the number of steal beams. At this point you are almost finished.Add the number of guardrails you counted along the southern side of the park. This is your number. If you want to check your number it should match the number of people on the sign plus the supporting posts on the bench. Finally add your number to the west coordinates and subtract from the north coordinates. Use these coordinates. N42 29.608 w83 12.386. Please replace everything the way you found it.
