Geocache Description:


FIELD PUZZLE! PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION

Maple Grove Park is 100-acres of field, forest and wetlands, rich in wildlife, with strong environmental value. A looping trail, approximately one mile long, winds through the area. You will be off trail, so dress appropriately. You will want to take the trail to the left at the intersection and then enter the woods near the posted waypoint. 

At the posted coordinates you will find a puzzle with 2 parts.  You first must determine the FOUR letter word to open the LOCK and retrieve what is needed for the second part.  Once you get the items inside for the 2nd part you can use the tool hanging on the post to assist you in working out the solution.  You are looking for the last 5 digits of the North and West coordinates.  Please put everything back as found and scramble the combination on the lock after closing it.  Please no spoilers in your logs or photos (they will be deleted).  You must sign the log to claim the find.  No Swag or Trackables at the first stage please!  The final is a small Lock n Lock container not far away.

This cache is one of six 2020 Friends of Hudson Parks Geocaching Adventure Series caches highlighting different parks.  In addition there is a "FOHP Bonus - 2020" cache (GC8MN92) to be found.  Record the code included in each of the 6 caches on the Geocaching Adventure form (link to form) to determine the coordinates for the Bonus cache. See the form or the FOHP Bonus cache page for the details regarding receipt of a collectable coin.
