This is a multi-step mystery cache.
We suggest using the on-street parking instead of the small lot which is often full with canine-laden vehicles. We checked with the Indio Police Dept to make sure that on-street parking is legal here. It is fine and is used as overflow parking for the dog park. The street markings designate a combined golf cart and bicycle travel lane with vehicle parking allowed in that same lane.
Take a very short walk to each of the coordinates and final. You don't need to go into any fenced areas to answer the questions and should stay on the sidewalks at all times, even at the final cache location. Park hours are 6 am to 10 pm.
You will pass by one of Indio's fire stations so we want to give a big thanks to our hard-working firefighters!
