Geocache Description:


The coordinates above are for the entrance to the parking lot for this cache. Take it slow when you are getting close, it is easy to miss (Eberly Lane). This is a fairly new environmental nature park that has around 65 newly planted species of trees. The new tree area was arranged in a manor that it has been used for training in ORIENTEERING. 30 of the trees were placed geographically in respect to locations of Major Cities in the USA. The trail network is populated with a large amount of birdhouses and feeders and offers a pleasant hiking experience. While exploring the trails, you will find a well constructed wildlife blind to assist you in observing nature at its best. You will now proceed to the following coordinates (40 11.138 76 59.852) along an extensive trail network. Once you arrive at your destination, you are to look for "Shawn Smith" and he will provide you with the information necessary to locate the High Tech Mini-Cache Container (NOT a micro). Its coordinates can be determined by working out the following: A = last digit of his troop B = Square root of the sum of A+C+D C = Day of month D = Month FINAL CACHE Location: 40 11.ABC 76 59.DAA There is no room in this cache for items to trade, in fact there isn't even room for the thickness of a pencil. I will provide a pencil or two near the cache, but recommend you bring your own in case they vanish. Neither parts of this cache require you to move any rocks, logs, leaves or any other items. They are both pretty much in plain sight depending on your ViewPoint. Don't decode the hint until you have given it an honest effort searching for the final cache. List whether you needed to use the Hint in the logbook, but not in your online LOG. It is NOT necessary to step into or search any of the Flower Beds at the final cache location.
