Zuerst Jahr Feier Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Sportsters: Stopped by this afternoon on the way to a family event. Aspects of stage 1 have indeed changed and stage 2's location is now gone. Wasn't able to check the final since I was not in geo attire. I contemplated just making this a 1 stage regular cache using final coordinates. But....that wouldn't really be fair to all those who found it as a multi. So it's time to say so long to Zuerst [:(] A big thank you to "essdodge" for the updates on things at the park during the highway construction. [^] I'll go back and collect the final container and maybe recycle it into another cache in the future to keep the spirit of the "good ol days of geocaching" going.

Geocache Description:

A 3 stage multi located in HighlandLakes Park. A neat little City of Lewisville park along I35 that you've probably driven by many times and never even noticed! Take the Garden Ridge exit to the coordinates listed above where you will find a small parking lot. It's here you begin your quest. Please do not park along I35 or the I35 service road.

Once you have parked, calculate the coordinates to stage two where you will find posted coordinates for a camouflaged 3" x 6" cylinder at stage three. This is a very small park so stealth will be required if anyone else is in the area.

Stage 1: Count the number of picnic tables located in the park.

Multiply the number of picnic tables by 8 and add this number to the last three digits of your N parking coordinates "160".

N 33. 05. _ _ _

Multiply the number of picnic tables by 9 and subtract this number from the last three digits of the W parking coordinates "691".

W 097. 01. _ _ _

Stage 2: You are looking for the coordinates to stage 3.

Stage 3: Have fun!

Please Note: Coordinates for stage 3 were averaged after having a wide range of readings on several visits. Update: Checked coords again on 12/10/03 walking all stages 4 times had the same problems. Sometimes GPS showed 3-12 feet sometimes 21-37 feet! Haven't made any adjustments in posted coordinates yet. We wanted to provide a little challenge in this small park by not using hints so feel free to post the coordinates you find.

We do not recommend doing this cache at night even though no park hours are posted. The final stage is not really kid friendly and is also a CITO area. The park does provide picnic areas with grills, a short paved trail, lots of red rocks to play on, and is adjacent to a small inlet of Lake Lewisville. We hope you enjoy your visit.
