This geocache is not at the posted coordinates but it is nearby.
Welcome to Washington Park! This park is located in the greater Washington area in a beautiful 255 arce plot with plenty of sports facilties, a swimming pool, and long walking trails. With this level of arceage, one can see the vast diversity of flora and fauna within the park such as birds, deer, foxes and other woodland creatures. So let's learn about them through animal track identification! To get the final coordinates, you must identify the following sets of animal tracks of various animals seen in the park.
A) Please identify the coyote's paw prints in the following line-up:
Canine prints are distinctive -- the overall shape is oval with four twos and a heel pad that is concave at the bottom. The four toes point forward and are held closely together with the two front toes often lining up side-by-side.
1. N 40* 12'
2. N 40* 10'
3. N 40* 14'
4. N 40* 13'
B) Please identify the bobcat's paw prints in the following line-up:
Feline prints have four toes and a heel pad with three lobes at the bottom edges that are shaped like a bubble letter “M”.
5. 5.7161"
6. 13.7197"
7. 15.8715"
8. 7.1526"
C) Please identify the elk's hoof tracks in the following line-up:
Ungulates have a split hoof with two toes that leave a distinct imprint. Ungulates can be divided into two main groups based upon the shape of their toes. One group has toes that curve forming a heart-shaped print, while the other have toes that are rounded and leave a round or even square-shaped print.
9. W 80* 17'
10. W 80* 12'
11. W 80* 13'
12. W 80* 11'
13. W 80* 15'
D) Please identify the raccoon's paw prints in the following line-up:
These small mammals produce small prints, so you have to look closely at the prints and the track patterns to tell them apart. It’s a diverse group with hoppers and waddlers that range from the forest to the river’s edge.
21. 16.6224"
22. 18.2135"
23. 12.2284"
24. 17.7643"
25. 12.1409"
26. 15.7238"
The final is a regular sized tupperware container with several prizes and a logbook inside. Happy caching!
