Geocache Description:


Today marks my 20th Geo-anniversary. I found my first cache on 8/7/02 but did not create my account until the next day. Two years ago I carpet-bombed Lake Wheeler Park where I made my first find with 8 new caches to celebrate the day. Last year I celebrated the day with 9 new mix-tape puzzle caches. This year I am hiding 10 2-stage multi-caches to represent 20.

Who knew when I found that first cache in a tree stump it would lead to spending nearly 1/3rd of my life chasing after them, visiting all 100 counties in NC, all of the lower 48 states plus Alaska, and multiple countries to find more caches. But even more importantly, I have met some of the most wonderful people all around the globe through this game.

Twenty is sometimes referred to as a ‘score’. Score is related to share and comes from the Old Norse "skor" meaning a "notch" or "tally" on a stick used for counting. ... Often people counted in 20s; every 20th notch was larger, and so "score" also came to mean 20."

Twenty is the number of moves (quarter or half turns) required to optimally solve a Rubik's Cube in the worst case.

Twenty is the atomic number of calcium and the third magic number in physics.

Twenty can be used as an index in measuring visual acuity. 20/20 indicates normal vision at 20 feet, although it is commonly used to mean "perfect vision".

A standard dartboard is laid out as 20 sectors.

The Kentucky Derby currently has a maximum field of 20 horses.

I-20 runs 1,539 miles beginning near Kent, Texas, at I-10 to Florence, South Carolina, at I-95. Between Texas and South Carolina, I-20 runs through northern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

This is a reboot of a slightly tricky cache that Nittany Dave had in this park, with the addition of a stage to meet my project needs. I have always known this space as Kids Together Park. But in 2008 Cary renamed it Marla Dorrel Park to honor a longtime community activist and council member. The playground is still called Kids Together. It has a dragon climbing structure, basketball court, sk8 park, and a picnic shelter. You can connect to other Cary parks on the greenways that are at the western end of the park.

You're looking for a camo'd PetID at stage one and a MKH at stage two. There's no need to take anything apart. Just use your geo-senses to find the prize. This one is a log only cache.
