Geocache Description:


Growing up, we would often spend family time on this path. We always went from home to Buck Creek Nature Preserve to Lemery Park, then back through the preserve and home to our front door. Dad would run and the rest of us would bike. Wonderful memories of deer and bunnies and snakes and toads, horses in a neighboring field, and wild flowers, of stopping by the bridges, watching the creek, and of course finding numerous geocaches. For Father's Day, we thought it might be nice to share this path with other families. It's always a great day to get outside and spend some time with dad, or other parent/gaurdian.

To find the exact coordinates, simply complete the following wordsearch of fatherly adjectives! Six of the words listed are not included in the puzzle. Once you've narrowed them down, plug in the numbers of those missing to the partial coordinates listed. The cache itself is the size of a pill bottle, good luck and have fun!

For all the parents out there: thank you for everything you do, and have a happy (probably belated) Father's Day! -J&G
