Geocache Description:


I guess this is a new series of mine.  This is the 2nd of hopefully many more.  At the start you will be on a sidewalk with a playground to your left.  This is where you will need to take notice.  The first thing that caught my attention was 2 spring riders that are no longer safe enough for todays children.  I then continued with the playground at my left to another section of the playground. It had a sign describing this part of the playground.  There was a hanging sign with _ words.  Off to my right I noticed a wishing well with _ benches around it.  Past the well there was another bench with an insect on the back with _ letters in its simple name.  Here I turned around and noticed _ metal flowers spinning in the wind. From there I returned to where I started and headed down the path till I passed the sign with the same name as this cache.  I stayed to the right at the fork. Then a quick left where I noticed _ stone markers on my left.  I continued to the right till I had the center line of the hockey rink at my left.  Here I took note of _ benches.  As I moved on I had to choose what way to travel.  I choose not to go left.  I walked along the path till I found myself at an intersection.  At the intersection I noticed a sign reminding the public of the responsibility of owning a pet.  It also indicated a fine if you disregarded the rule.  There were _ zeros in the fine.  I got moving again on the main path taking note of each marker till I found one mentioning 51 years.  This marker had _ names spelled differently but were nicknames from the same given name.  I continued along still focused on all of these markers looking for something to jump out, till I found a marker mentioning a scouting troop with _ _ _ _ being its identification.  Following the main loop I noticed a mention of Psalm _ _ several markers later.  I took my focus off the markers here to notice a pole with _ metal tags.  I found myself back at the hockey rink where there was a sign with _ children on a piece of playground equipment.  Having made a good look around I decided to take a rest and come up with some coordinates to hide a prize.  I noticed a couple benches to sit on while I did some math.  To get the coordinates start with the troop number and add the Psalm.  Next divide the amount of nicknames.  With this number you will need to take the number of zeros and flowers and add them all together.  Now take your number subtract 1 then divide by the number of words from the swinging (hanging) sign.  You are getting close to having the number needed to get that smiley.  Now take the number of stone markers you needed to count at the beginning and divide it from your number.  At this point you should have a two digit number, reverse them.  Now take the number of letters in the insect name, subtract the number of metal tags, and add the number of benches you took note of earlier. If you divide this number from the other number you will get the same.  Take this number and add the number of years on the marker with the nicknames.  You now have a number.  Take it and subtract from north and west coordinates using N42 29.614 W83 13.294. Go get that smiley, you earned it.
