Geocache Description:


This is a Multi-Cache, so the geocache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Go there to answer some questions about the history of this park area to find the physical cache location. Both locations should be wheelchair-accessible.

Look at the sign for information to solve for the coordinates of the Final Cache:

# of letters in Sylvia's last name, multiplied by 2 = AB

The first sentence tells what this area of Mill Race Park used to be called:

  # of letters in the first word, subtract 1 = C

  # of letters in the second word, add 1 = D

Now look for the plaque on a rock several feet South along the trail to answer the last two questions:

# of letters in first word = E

# of letters in next two words = F

N 39 AB.CDE

W 085 EE.EEF

Now go find the cache! Please bring your own pen and use stealth when people are in the area.

Area Notes of Interest: The collection of bat boxes here was installed for Exhibit Columbus 2021, a biennial site-specific art invitational. by artist Joyce Hwang. Titled "To Middle Species, With Love", it provides habitats for area wildlife. You might enjoy the climb to the top of the nearby observation tower for a unique vantage point.

IMPORTANT: Mill Race Park was designed to withstand frequent floods from the nearby rivers, so this cache may be inaccessible at times. Please, DO NOT DRIVE OR WALK THROUGH FLOODWATERS to access this geocache! Park hours are dawn to dusk. Bring your own pen. Watch out for muggles, and enjoy your time in beautiful Mill Race Park!
