There is a nine hole public golf source with extremely reasonable green fees and memberships.
This cache will take you to six different waypoints. At each waypoint, you will need to look around to gather information to figure out the number needed for the final. All waypoints are outdoors. Parking can be found at the initial coordinates. The six waypoints are walkable distance from parking. While the final location is also walkable, be advised that it may not be suitable for pets or children. Please use your best judgment. Parking is available at the final.
Once you've solved the puzzle, please take some time to explore St. John and the small businesses that operate in this community. Shop hours will vary based on day of week and time of day.
