Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. The posted coordinates are however, the entrance to the park where you will stroll around collecting information to obtain the final coordinates.



Please do the field puzzle, to obtain the final cache coordinates.


The park has two play structures, benches and some great walking paths for the children to run around on.

In the park, you will find the items shown below. The first part of the field puzzle, involves counting how many of each of these items you find. All the items below are on the walking paths and on the larger of the two play structures. No need for the children to venture into the woods to find any of the items.


How many RACCOONS did you see? ___
How many SQUIRRELS did you see? ___
How many TURTLES did you see? ___
How many FROGS did you see? ___
How many LEAVES did you see? ___
How many TREE TRUNKS did you see? ___


The second part of the field puzzle involves some simple math.

To find the post decimal NORTH coordinates:

.(TREE TRUNKS - LEAVES), (3 x FROGS), (RACCOONS + SQUIRRELS)

To find the post decimal WEST coordinates:

.(TURTLES), (FROGS + TURTLES + RACCOONS + SQUIRRELS), (TREE TRUNKS - FROGS - TURTLES)

Cheers and Happy Caching
