Geocache Description:


Welcome to Sparrow Park - a lovely little park in this neighborhood – if you have young ones, bring them out to play on the fun outdoor equipment here.

This is a relatively simple and quick, two stage Multi-cache.

The GIVEN (posted) Coordinates bring you to a sign that has several pieces of information on it. Concentrate on the line that has numbers in it, as these will be used in the easy math that will provide the “offsets” that you will use to modify the GIVEN coordinates into the FINAL coordinates. 

To find the NORTH FINAL coordinates, obtain the second digit (left to right) from the numbers you found. This is your NORTH offset. Now for the easy math – SUBTRACT the single digit number you found from the NORTH GIVEN coordinates – the result is your NORTH FINAL coordinates.

To find the WEST FINAL coordinates, first obtain the third digit (left to right) from the numbers you found and call it “N”. Next, obtain the fourth digit (left to right) from the numbers you found, and call it “T”. Now for some more easy math – SUBTRACT T from N and call it X ( N-T=X ).  X is your WEST offset. This time, you will ADD the offset to the GIVEN WEST coordinates ( GIVEN WEST + X = WEST FINAL ).  

You now have a new set of coordinates for the FINAL.

To add a new set of coordinates in the Geocaching App, scroll down to Waypoints - you can add the new FINAL coordinates you have discovered there.

Bring your own pen, and enjoy the hunt!

As always - Be aware of "muggles" and replace the cache as you found it - Thanks!
