CONGRATULATIONS to J.S.26514 and Saddlebug on the FTF!!! I have a feeling they are more devious than me! Honorary FTF goes to ecanderson and CoBiker who found the cache without any shenanigans!
Welcome to our neighborhood park! It's a small, nameless, corner park very close to my house. In fact, the fence gate near GZ is at the end of a pathway leading from my back patio. I've used this gate countless times to enter the park and exercise our dogs. When we moved to Loveland in 2010, this interface with the park was one of the main reasons we chose this location!
In searching for this cache, there is NO NEED TO GO THROUGH THE GATE OR ENTER MY BACK YARD. Those of you that know me know that I prefer caches with higher D and/or T ratings. I do think this cache will be a harder one to find but I don't do a lot of caching in urban environments so I'm somewhat unsure about the rating. I've decided to start it as a 4D but as time goes on, I can always adjust it if warranted. Maybe I'm not as evil as I think I am, but who knows, maybe I am. Please put the cache back exactly as you found it!!!
Park your geomobile along the street adjacent to the park and make your way to GZ. Kids can play on the playground equipment or the basketball court while you are searching. If it's nice out, I may even be sitting on my patio enjoying a cold beverage while I watch the action. Enjoy your hunt and the park!!
1-29-18 UPDATE - With the DNFs rolling in, and the high likelihood that others have looked and DNFed but not posted, it appears I am more evil that I gave myself credit for! I have raised the difficulty level to a 5. Good luck in your search!
