Geocache Description:


This county park is open from dawn to dusk all year long. Enjoy the trails and if you see a critter, remember the magic words “scat, scoot, scram, skedaddle”.

Cell reception is spotty at best, so make sure that your GPS is loaded with all the relevant info for the caches in the Virgil Phillips Farm Park.

The Final is located at N 46 48.ABC W 117 01.DEF

The "needed-information-display", at the posted coordinates, is gone, but you can solve this one at home. Use the field puzzle pic and the formulas below to determine ABCDEF and the final coordinates.

A=Moose minus 2
B=Badger minus 1
C=Weasel = 4

D=Chipmunk minus 3
E=Jackrabbit minus 10
F=Beaver

The Final is located at N 46 48.ABC W 117 01.DEF

9/27/25 Updated description page to deal with changes in the park. You are still able to solve this one before you travel and you can still use the geochecker to confirm that your coords are correct.

Though we left a pen in the container, you might want to bring your own pen/pencil (BYOP).

Please be careful with the cache container.
