Geocache Description:


Welcome to my newest geocache! This cache as you will soon find out means a lot to me and is also a very personal cache. 

Childs Park for me is one of those places that you visit where you just think, wow! There are so many memories here! Well, this puzzle cache is my way to try to get you to think like I do. People have come here from miles around to have their wedding photos taken here, have picnics, lay in the grass or just walk around to see all of the beautiful sites this park has to offer. 

To conquer this puzzle cache you must find "Big Bad Bob". Go to the specified coordinates and look around you in close proximity. Hmmm…there sure are a lot of park benches here!  Oh man! All of these seem to be dedicated to a loved one in the form of a name plate mounted on the bench with a short saying, remembrance or mabe even a nick name. Hmmm....

 

Special thanks to QuietBear, he had a geocache here called "Asparagus" and graciously archived it to make room at Child's Park for me.

The cache container is a medium sized magnetic holder carefully hidden in one of the most historic and beautiful places in Northampton. You are going to need help to locate the final cache container. Why don’t you ask these nice people on my list? 

Kate Curtin, Bud Devlin, Russell Bishop, Ken and Jan Dumond, Francis Mann, Edward McMahon, Mary Pollard Sullivan, Dorothy Sullivan Miller, Ted Houle, and Walter, Joseph and Gary Cichaski.

So one more thing! Once you have gathered all of the necessary clues you just need to solve my simple puzzle. 

42* AB.CDE 72* VW.XYZ. 

Try to be as stealthy as you can while trying to gather the clues, tie your shoes often. Pet your dog alot. or maybe play with the kiddos while secretly gathering Intel. Haha! Fun Fun!
