Geocache Description:


The 20-year-old park, which is located at 1339 Black River Road, Allentown, is one of 10 in the township.

At approximately 94 acres, Franko Farm sits atop a relatively level portion of the South Mountain ridgeline, close to parts of South Allentown and Lower Saucon Township.

Thanks to its elevation high above the Lehigh Valley, on a clear day the view from the park stretches for many miles to the northwest, and a 2016 master site plan actually calls for developing a pedestrian overlook to maximize the appeal of this unique feature.

Another attraction is a pond with a small gazebo “island” connected to the land by a bridge, which is reminiscent of the gazebo and bridge at Lechauweki Springs Park in nearby Fountain Hill.

Two modern picnic pavilions equipped with barbecue grills are available for rental from the township, and the park is also equipped with portable bathrooms.Information about pavilion rentals is available on the township’s website.

Among the additions included in the 2016 master site plan proposal are an ADA-accessible loop trail, a second ballfield, an expanded community garden, permanent restrooms, extended mowed grass pathways and an 18-hole disc golf course.

Salisbury Township parks and playgrounds are open from dawn til dusk,

Now For your puzzle:

  Final Location is N 40 AA.BBC W75 DE.FFF  

To find the cords you need to visit the park and explore the area between the large parking lot and the small parking lot. All of the questions to this field puzzle can be answered in this area. Please Respect the privacy of the Renter of the house. There is no need to enter within the boundries of the private property. Let's get started.

 

AA= Year Fairmont House Was Bulit ####-1769=

BB= Number of White Garage Doors At Parking? Plus 2

C= Number of Pavilions?

D= Maximum number of people allowed? (First number- Second number) = # 

E= Number Of Pillars Of The Fishing Gazebo? Minus 3

FFF= Plaque On Rock, Board Of Commissioners ####-1644=

Well that should do it. Time to walk some trails to one of the two waypoints provided. This is the best place to leave the grass path and start your bushwack. You should have no problem spoting ground zero. Getting there may be the hardest part. Almost a mile round trip from parking. Longer if you do the other Geocaches here.

Please leave container in place and just open.
