Geocache Description:


This is one of a series of 5 kid friendly caches which I placed for a WINCAT 2021 task.  I hope you enjoy them whether you are a kid or only a kid at heart!

The City of Fredericton manages 138 Parkland locations of which 52 have playground equipment.  https://www.fredericton.ca/en/recreation/parks-and-playgrounds#playgrounds

This series will take you to 5 parks with playgrounds that are located on the south side of the river.  The first 4 caches in the series are large mason jars decorated with Minion images containing SWAG with kid appeal as well as a FTF prize of a Minion collectable.  Under each lid is a clue required to do a simple calculation to determine the location of the final puzzle cache.  The amount of stealth required to claim your smiley will depend on the day of the week, time of day and weather conditions.  What to wear on your feet will also vary through the seasons as I experienced quite different conditions at the time of container placement than I had on a scouting expedition 3 weeks earlier.

This being the final in the series and a puzzle cache, a little bit of math with the clues that you found under the first 4 container lids is required to determine the correct co-ordinates.  FTF prize is an unactivated Minion travel bug with which to have some fun.

Please note the "May require wading attribute"  which  may be applicable during the spring melt.  Best to be prepared to piggy back the wee ones across the small stream whilst wearing your rubber boots in early spring.  I don't anticpate the water being a problem at any other time of year.
