Geocache Description:

THIS IS NOW A SIMPLE MULTI in Lemon Creek Park (details in the long description). Went to a multi after contents of cache were muggled repeatedly. Was unable to change listing type to multi on this site.

Come and see one of Staten Island's better kept secrets. Lemon Creek was renovated and improved over the past several years and is a beautiful park with lots to enjoy.

A colony of Purple Marlins have made this their home for decades, a boating marina and boat launch, kiddies playground, beach front means there is something here for everyone.

Follow the path to the Lemon Creek Foot Bridge to find the first stage. The bridge contains many bolts all of which have the same 3 digit number on them. Take that number and add it to N40 30.375 to get your new North coordinate. West coordinate is now 074 11.873.

The park officially closes at dusk, but we placed this cache at 9pm with no hastle. We checked on it the next am at 7:30 and again, didn't have too much company in this area.
