Geocache Description:

Welcome to Penn Forest Recreational Park. Please read the rules and adhere to them. Most important are the rules about LEASHES ON YOUR DOGS and PARK HOURS

This is a Letterbox Hybrid geocache.  You will need some special tools and skills to complete this. On your journey you will need to count, project waypoints, estimate distances, and have fun. You can use a compass, a measuring device or if you really know how to use your GPSr it will do almost all the work for you.


Doctor Who uses the T.A.R.D.I.S. to travel through time and space, if you can figure out that trick you will be able to finish this much quicker than most cachers.  wink

 

 

STEP 1:

To begin, park at parking coordinates and proceed to the posted coordinates. (It's a bench next to Old Glory.)

At the bench, sit down and relax. Now get back up and read the sign on the back of the bench.  Sit down and do some maths.

Count how many times you see the letter "k" and that will be digit 'A' There is at least one.

Count how many letters are in the first word and that will be digit 'B'

Count how many letters are in the third word and that will be digit 'C'

Walk ABC degrees for 560 feet

STEP 2:

Look up. higher. Now count how many large rectangles you see and subtract 1 from the total to get digit 'A'***11/2025. I did some checking and the rectangles are no longer up. They are on the ground under the information sign. They're pretty obvious unless covered in snow. If you can't find them, there are four rectangles.

Now walk A15 degrees for A28 feet

STEP 3:

Walk 198 degrees for 316 feet

STEP 4:

Read the sign and count the total number of letters.

Take the total and add 2 to it.

Multiply the answer by 10 to get digit 'A'

Walk 96 degrees for A feet 

STEP 5:

Walk 220 degrees for 500 feet

STEP 6:

Turn left and go 20 feet and find the plastic ammo box.

FINAL:

If you have a stamper, use it in the logbook and then stamp your book with our stamp. DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP!

If you don't use a stamper, just sign the logbook as you usually do.

 

The only time you will have to walk in the woods will be the last 20 feet. If you find yourself in the woods at any other time, go back and check your work.  ALL stages are in the park. Hope you have fun!

 

There is a FTF prize for the first Doctor!
