This fun kid-friendly multi is hidden along the Alum Creek Greenways Trail. Park in the James O. Casto neighborhood park to access this Metro Parks trail and find the cache. You don’t need a bike to get to the coordinates, but the Alum Creek Trail is a beautiful bike trail that runs along the river corridor from Westerville south to Three Creeks Park.You will need to know (or find out) two pieces of information about lightning bugs to navigate to the cache.
Putting on the GeoTrail every year takes a lot of work, and we couldn't do it without the help from the geocaching community. Thanks to Limont for creating this cache and helping us look after it!
A = The number of legs a lightning bug has.
B = The number of antennae a lightning bug has.
Once you know the answers to the above questions, follow the instructions below to find the Geocache.
1. Arrive at the cache location and face East on the path to begin this cache.
2. Walk East until the dead end and face North.
3. Walk North and count A+B yellow lines on the path. There should now be a large tree with two trunks to the West.
4. Walk North and count A+B yellow lines on the path. There should now be a large tree with three trunks to the West.
5. Walk North and count B yellow lines. There should now be a fallen tree very close to the path on the West side.
You've arrived! Can you find the geocache next to the fallen tree?
