Geocache Description:

A offset cache located in Beautiful Tourne Park. It is not your average cache, I anticipate some frustration.

The above coordinates will lead you to a directory board near the entrance to the park. Answer the below questions at the directory board, to find the numerical value of each letter.

A: How many phone booths are next to the Directory Board?

B: How many fire hydrants are within ten feet of the directory board?

C: Under the directory board there is a sign about dogs. How many words on this "dog" sign?

D&E: Within 15 yards of the directory board there is a speed limit sign, the first digit of the sign is D and the second digit of the sign is E. For example if the speed limit was 65 MPH. D would equal 6, E would equal 5.

F: Take the speed limit and divide it by four.

G: On the back of the directory board there is a lock. What is the number that is stamped on the lock?

Substitute the numerical answers for the letters.

The cache is located at:
North CA FC.ABE
West GC DG.EBA

The cache can be reached using the trails the entire way, except for the very last few feet. Use the directory board to find the best parking spot and the trailhead.

There is a micro log book, there is not enough room for any trades. Please bring a pen / sharp pencil and a piece of paper. In order to get credit for this cache please sign the log and email me with the following:

(1) The pithy saying that is contained within the cache.
(2) The exact coordinates that you found the cache.

There is no digging involved. Please replace the cache securely and exactly as you found it. Please do not include anything in your log entries that will spoil the cache or give away too much.

Try to think a bit out of the box.

If this is too difficult once you are out in the park, I can email you pictures (jpg) that will act as a spoiler. Try it on your own first.
