Fall Colors on Display at Pine Point Park
This is a straight-forward multi-cache with 6 stages, including the posted(virtual) stage, which is Stage 1. Each stage is increasing in size (virtual - nano (might need tweezers) - micro - small - regular - large). The total length is about 2 miles.
All stages, except the posted stage, are located in the eastern half of Pine Point Park, and within 25 feet of the trail (Not all trails are on the map). Significant bushwhacking is not required.
Stage 2 is located at N 45° 07.ABC' W 92° 50.DEF'. Find the value of ABC and DEF at the posted coordinates (Stage 1) as follows:
A = Count the number of named lakes in or bordering Pine Point Regional Park.
B = What is the fourth to last digit in the Pine Point Regional Park Information Phone Number?
C = How many letters are in the first word of the sign explaining the fine for not cleaning up after your pet?
D = Turn around and count the number of picnic table shelters you see.
E = Count the number of icons that "Share the Trail".
F = Count the number of posts holding up the large sign.
Checksum (A+B+C+D+E+F) = 26.
Stages 2-6 are in Pine Trees.
Pine Point facilities include hiking, skiing and horse trails, as well as the ending point of the Gateway Trail. Follow the link for information and maps of the park.
