Geocache Description:


Welcome to Lexington, knoiwn as the Horse Capital of the World. This letterbox is not at the posted coordinates and walks around the multi-purpose path that circles what was once Coldstream Farm. 

The cache can be found either by following the letterbox clues or by a series of projections. Your choice.

Letterbox Clues

  1. At the posted coordinates, you will find a place to have a seat.
  2. Follow the path that leads SSW between two ponds.
  3. Once you pass a sign for the multi-use path, follow the path to the left.
  4. Continue straight on the paved path until it bends to the right and a dirt path forks off of it..
  5. Follow the dirt path past two sets of black, 2-foot poles.
  6. Follow the dirt path until it ends at a rock wall.
  7. Look for some stairs and your prize will be there.

Series of projections

  1. At the posted coordinates, you will find a place to have a seat.
  2. From here, go 239 feet at a bearing of 189° until you reach a sign.
  3. Determine these answers from the sign.
    1. East Park Entrance is A / B mi.
    2. West Park Entrance is C - D / E mi.
  4. Using the information found on the sign, go VWX feet at a bearing of CYZ° to where the cache is located.
