Summary
The is a Mystery Cache and the coordinates are NOT the coordinates for the actual cache. These coordinates take you to an educational local flora information sign. There you will be able to the information needed to solve the Mystery cache’s true coordinates.
To solve this use N 43 7.ABC W 083 51.DEF
A = The number of letters in the first word on the sign.
B = The number of letters in the second word on the sign.
C = How many feet deep does the sign show the Indian Grass root system goes.
D = The number of letters in the word describing the type of settlers mentioned on the sign.
E= The sum of all the digits in the year the garden in front of the Nature Park office was last artificially watered in.
F = The number of letters in the month the garden in front of the Nature Park office was last artificially watered in.
The cache is a small, camouflaged lock n lock with a log, some swag and room for a few TB’s. It does not contain a pen/pencil though, so bring your own.
As always, use your best ninja skills to not be considered a weirdo.
This series consists of a baker’s dozen caches with 10 traditional caches, a multi-cache, a mystery cache, and a bonus mystery cache. All the caches in this series are designed to be tame and do not require you to go much off the trail, or to do any real bushwhacking. Just a lot of nice stretching of your legs. And I do mean stretching your legs as this series is not a bunch of park and grab caches. It is meant to get you out walking in this park, and in total requires a couple of miles to do in one go. It can be done in an hour if you are fit, and either good or lucky. If you do not consider yourself fit you do not have to do the entire series in a day, or for that matter you do not have to do the entire series. LOL
Keep in mind there will be mosquitoes in season, and ticks seem to be everywhere now. You will also see a large variety of birds, lots of bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks, the occasional snake, and other little wild critters. You will also get to see the Flint River flowing by. Besides my new series there are two nice Earth Caches and three other traditional caches in this park. This is a nice nature park, enjoy your time here, I do.
Congratulations to Divedeep188 for FTF!
Thank you,
The Management.
