Geocache Description:


Welcome to this cache, I hope you enjoy the hunt.

Access to this cache is a easy walk from Minneola Dog park. This park has excellent shaded exercise equipment beside a kids playground. A skate park, baseball diamond and restrooms are also available. Restrooms close at 3:30pm now. There is a well laid out off road bike trail weaving through the trees between the park and the trail.

Also arriving at this location by bicycle via the trail would be very convenient. Bring your bike and access the trail for a great ride

Today or in the future be safe when you ride.

Ed Harvey Jr.  An enthusiastic sportsman that loved bicycling.

This Cache is accessible from inside. No tools required or trampling of plants needed.

This is a high MUGGLE area, be wary. (muggle- A stranger to geocaching that might vandal the cache.)

Be stealthy and try not to let anyone see you retrieve or replace the cache.

Waiting and patience may be needed until the area is clear.

You may find a GEOCOIN I created. It is Not a tracker bug you can log. If you take one, please help it move to a new home in the next cache you find, (that it will fit).

The cache is VERY well hidden and camouflaged. Don’t worry hints are available to help complete the find, although you will need to do a little math. Try to use hints one at a time when you require them.

Start your search Now.......... Look at the hints, If needed. Start with hint #1.

This is the answer for hint #2.. Start with the 2 digit year this place was dedicated and divide by the total number of letters in the name on the flat stone (ignore spaces and periods).  Now subtract 2.5 .

This is the answer to hint #3...Start with the 2 digit year Ed Harvey was born and subtract 48.  Pillar #1 is closest to the playground.
