Geocache Description:


A Multi with 10 possible stops at information signs, but you don't need to go to all of them and the order listed is not the most efficient; pick your own order. Pick and choose and get a number from each sign to get the coordinates for the final cache. You need 6 letters so must go to signs that give you each of those specific letters. The park is open dawn to dusk.

A family friendly adventure with some walking. Mostly on paved trails until you go on a short bushwhack to the final. Container is a small lock 'n lock with room for small swag for trading. 

The final coordinates for the geocache are: N 39° 46.ABC' W 75° 31.DEF'

Rockwood Mansion A = 4th digit of year the mansion was completed

Gardens and Landscape A = the 4th digit of year the photo of Anna was taken

Edward's Playhouse B = the 3rd digit of year the photo of Edward was taken
