Geocache Description:

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES. These coordinates are at the pitchers mound of the goldpanners stadium. This is a geocache placed to celebrate baseball, America's pastime (and the best sport, in my opinion). It is also my first mystery cache, so I hope you like the puzzle.

Update 2025: I originally placed this cache at a different location, close by to the new GZ. In that process, I ended up finding a stage of a multi, archived in 2009. It appears now that the multi stage and my original placement got muggled, due to increased use of the area. Hopefully, this new spot will now survive longer. It should be winter-friendly, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
