Pink #1: The Pink Panther        

The Pink Panther

The Pink Panther is a series of comedy films featuring an inept French police detective, Inspector Jacques Clouseau. In the films, the Pink Panther is a large and valuable pink diamond which is first shown in the opening film in the series. The diamond is called the "Pink Panther," because the flaw at its center, when viewed closely, is said to resemble a leaping pink panther. The plot of the first film is based on the theft of this diamond. The diamond reappears in several later films in the series (The Return of the Pink PantherTrail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther).  It also comes in the 2006 reintroduction of Inspector Clouseau, also called The Pink Panther, and its sequel The Pink Panther 2).  

The first film in the series had an animated opening sequence, created by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and set to the theme music by Mancini, which featured the Pink Panther character. This character was the subject of its own series of animated cartoons which gained its greatest fame when aired on Saturday mornings as The Pink Panther Show.  The Pink Panther is tall, thin, has a long tail and small, circular ears above his rectangular head. He has large, yellow eyeballs, black eyes, and a large purple, triangular nose.

Park at the given coordinates and enter the woods at the guard rail. The enticing open field "short cut" is off limits as is the man made pond at the end of the road. Both areas have no trespassing signs. Once you enter the woods you will see trails, marked bike paths as well as a paved walking area.
