This is now a daytime only cache with a short, easy hike to GZ.The gates are now closed and locked, unless there is a game or practice going on. The terrain rating has been adjusted.
The entrance to the Darrell Enfinger Sports Complex, where this cache is located, is off NW 10th Terrace, between North Elementary School and Yearling Middle School. The alternate enterence that was located off Parrot Avenue is no longer accessible and a fence has been constructed. Sorry for any inconveniences.
Hoping to bring some more challenges to our area, so here's another multi-cache. The cache is located at N 27° A.BC W 080° D.EF.
At each of the stages, you will find a number on a fence post. That number replaces the corresponding letter. You MUST locate that number. Some numbers are two digit, just keep them in the correct order and you will have the coordinates to the final stage, where you will find a large container with lots of sports related swag, including (when hidden) a full suze frisbee, a St. Lucie Mets baseball and a NY Mets mini-helmet, a croquet ball, some golf items, and so much more.
Stage one ( A ) brings you to the girls softball field. Softball at the Summer Olympics was on the Olympic program from 1996 to 2008, where the U.S. team took 3 golds and 1 silver in 4 appearances. It has since been removes from the Olympics, as was baseball, but there are efforts to bring them back.
Stage two ( B ) is at the baseball field. Baseball is imbedded in America's history and has stood the test of time for over 100 years. My sons played and still play on these fields. Many of the boys who play here dream of one day making it to the World Series. Incidentally, the team with the most World Series wins in the history of baseball is the New York Yankees, (my favorite team for the past 40 years), with 40 appearances and 27 wins. 2nd place? The St. Louis Cardinals with 11 wins. No one else has even hit double digits.
Stage three ( C ) is for all those football fans out there. The Super Bowl is an annual American football game that determines the champion of the National Football League (NFL). Since January 1971, the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game has faced the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the NFL playoffs. Unless my favorite, the only undefeated NFL team in the history of the game, the Miami Dolphins are playing, I just watch the Superbowl for the commercials.
Stage four ( D ) is the pool and Olympic Swimming. Back Stroke, Breast Stroke, Butterfly, and freestyle, plus the relays. No team has won more medals in swimming, from 1894 to 2012, than the American Men's team, with a total of 281 medals, 127 of them gold. Australia is 2nd with 98 total, 31 gold. Our USA boys are fast!
Stage five ( E ) is at the tennis courts. Professional players want that Grand Slam. With the Austrailian Open, the French Open, the U.S. Open, and the most prized of all four, Wimbledon, the matches get pretty intense. Two pros are tied for most Wimbledon championships, USA's Pete Sampras and Switzerland's Roger Federer.
Stage six ( F ) is the basketball courts. Personally, I didn't really pay much attention to the NBA untill the 1992 Summer Olympics and the United States' Dream Team. After all the players from that team retired, I pretty much lost interest again. BUT, there are so many others who absolutely love the NBA and the NBA Championships, and I would be a fool to leave all of you out of this multicache. For the record, I did look up who has the most, and that would be the Boston Celtics, with 17 wins. The Lakers are nipping at their heals though, with 16.
Again, at each of the stages posted coordinates, you can find the number you need for the final stage. You just have to look on the fence posts. These numbers are available even during games. You just have to be a bit stealthy about it.
