Welcome to Tanglewood Park: The Sundew Boardwalk Multi
THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!
Here you will take a stroll around a nice boardwalk to review each of the 8 posted signs. At each Sign (reference point) you will need to read the sign and answer the associated question to solve for the final. This is a nice area and doesn’t get too many visitors so I figured a Field Puzzle Multi was needed.
When you park at the posted coordinates proceed down the path behind the chalet. Once the path starts to bend to the right you will continue straight thru the green keeping the small pond on the left. Continue thru the green to the Posted Coordinates. This starts the trail to the boardwalk. Hang a right once you come to a “Y“ in the trail and continue to the first reference point, which is the first boardwalk sign.
Each sigh is a reference point and is associated with a question(s). The boardwalk circles around and finishes in the area where you started. Should be a fairly easy walk, and Mulit-Cache for most. Please stay on the boardwalk at all times. There is no reason to go traipsing around the spongey bog as I am sure you will get wet.
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for wildlife. This is a small cache and has room for small tradables. Bring your own writing utensil as there is not one in the cache.
Please do not attempt this cache if the Chalet is having an event. This Chalet can be rented for parties or what not. Parking would be for the event patrons. Thanks.
Don’t forget the Traditional that is located here as well.
You are solving for: N 61 AB.CDE W 149 FG.HIJ
