Geocache Description:


This Cache is not located at the listed coordinates. You must solve the puzzle to obtain the correct location of this cache.

Francis King Park is a local favorite. It's only about a 10-minute drive from town and is easily explored any time of the year. This series of 8 "Flight Song" caches will take you on a hike through the park. In the lid of each cache, you will find a letter and number. There are 6 numbers to collect to solve the puzzle to find the final cache.

The walk around the park to get all 8 caches and the final takes about 2 1/2 hours and covers about 6 km.

The final cache is at N48 29.ABC W123 26.DEF"?

The caches in the series are:
GC81X9J Flight songs: I'm Like A Bird - HAG XV
GC81X9H Flight songs: Fly By Night - HAG XV
GC81X98 Flight songs: Learn To Fly - HAG XV
GC81X97 Flight songs: Fly Like An Eagle - HAG XV
GC81X9M Flight songs: Freebird - HAG XV
GC81X94 Flight songs: Blackbird - HAG XV
GC81X9V Flight songs: Leaving on a jet plane - HAG XV
GC81X8Z Flight songs: Jet Airliner - HAG XV


This cache was hidden as part of HAG XV

What is the "HAG"?
HAG stands for Hide And Go. It's a local Geocaching event where geocachers hide caches during November, December and early January each year. They are all published on one day, the first Saturday in February.

I cached for many years before discovering the HAG and missed out on a lot of fun. I stumbled on HAG day 2017 by accident and actively went looking for them in 2018. This is the first year that I have hidden caches for the HAG.


This cache is off the trail a bit.

I hope you enjoy finding these caches.


Congratulations to islandfinders for being First to Find
