The Rose and Old Fashion Gardens are part of the Cedar Creek Parkway Park. This is a 3 stage cache that will let you see what the gardens have to offer. Best time to really enjoy them is late spring to early fall as most of the flowers will be in bloom then. This is also a very poplar place to get married or to have your wedding pictures taken, as we did 33 years ago, so plan accordingly. Don’t forget to make a wish in the wishing well.
1. The above coordinates will take you to a plaque dedicated to “Miss Pat”. Using the last 3 numbers of the year on the plaque, you will subtract the last 3 numbers of the above latitude from the plaque numbers, then add 6 to that total. This total will give you the last 3 numbers of the final coordinates.
40º 35.xxx
