This geocache sits in a small park and is named after the nearby Windrose House. It is set within this "Navigator's Neighborhood" where the streets are named after some of the famous navigators from the Age of Exploration: Ferdinand Magellan, Jacques Cartier, David Livingstone, Hernando de Soto, Hernán Cortés, Rene Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle, Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, and Captain John Smith. They were guided by compass and you will be well served if you put away your GPS and use your own compass to search the park's eastern edge. Stealth is required for this geocache.
A compass rose, was once also known as a windrose or rose of the winds. It is a figure on a compass, map, nautical chart, or monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions (north, east, south and west). Windroses are now better known as graphical charts that characterize the speed and direction of winds measured at weather stations.
To all of our fellow geocachers: To the people you will meet on the way to your destination, to the detours you will take and to the places you will visit that never made it onto the map...may you enjoy the adventure! Congrats to pwesleynd93 with the FTF win!
