Once you arrive at the initial waypoint in the green area, wait
here. Once you are ready, move on. Now proceed to the nearest exit
to leave this sanctum. Then go into the nearest other entrance and
proceed to the nearest bench in a similar sanctum which is next to
the one you just left. Now wait here also, but hopefully you will
not need to wait as long. Look all around you. Why in the world
would you be sent here? And why the last place? What is the
difference? There is a reason you were sent there first, then here.
Go back out of this sanctum the way you came in. But as you go
out, have a look at where the rules of this place are given – No
hard soled shoes, raised heels or cleats, animals, bicycles,
skates, skateboards, baby carriages, leaning on nets or playing on
wet courts…. Is it not a wonder they allow anything at all? Be sure
to ignore the other rules. Keep this one though. (That last
statement has a double meaning.)
Now proceed toward the basketball court. Ignore it and then pass
it as it is on your left, and then go left onto the grass after it.
You see the place for exercises? Now you need to get fit for this
cache – If you are agile enough, try the jump touch beam and
combine it together with the ol’ side stretch. Do not separate
those 2 exercises. You need to combine those two exercises together
for the desired result. Now you see that slanted high bar with the
indication of heights? Isn’t it a bit high? Have you ever even seen
someone the height of even the third highest possibility? I am not
even as tall as the lowest possibility!
There are so many exercises here, what are your chances of
finishing them all? Zero. And what in the world is a gluteus
stretch? Sounds dangerous so be careful!
Time to head towards the baseball field. En route you will pass
the pavillion on your left. In the main open sheltered area are the
hours of the park. If you are a night owl you probably would never
consider the possibility of arriving at this park too early so take
note of when it opens. A bit beyond the main open shelter area are
a couple of blue covered machines. These machines can provide many
brands but not the tried and true Uncola! How tragic as you need it
to help you find the cache. Next in your journey (just after the
soda machines) you will pass a set of thick round stone pillars
with lava rocks. How interesting they are indeed and it's
therapeutic to ponder them.
Now go onward past the drinking fountain which you can ignore,
and beyond that to the viewing booth with all the benches. The most
restful view is in the back row, if you lean your back against
those comfortable horizontal metal bars. There are enough of them
to fully support you. So you can rest here and think about aspects
of baseball…. For example, how many bases are there (including home
plate)? And hopefully you got here in time for a game. But if you
arrived late you would be stuck sitting the the last row of... how
many rows of benches? Maybe you don't have the time now so you had
better move on.
Now look to your left and you can see a nice tree. Go beyond it
and then to the forgettable chain link fence behind it. Follow the
fence all the way in the same direction and you will get to a small
shelter with benches which has the bathrooms. Ignore the shelter
unless you need to go. (Surely you cannot complain that this cache
did not provide adequate places for rest, liquid refreshment and
bathroom breaks!) Nearby you will see a baseball monument to David
E. that you can read but it has nothing to do with this cache.
However what does relate to the cache is the scorekeepers box
behind home plate. Go on in, and as you contemplate how many steps
are there between (but not including) the bottom platform and the
top level? Now that you have collected all the needed clues, you
should know where to go to get the cache.
Whether backtracking is involved I will not say. The cache is
not next to or in a shelter of any kind. Off you go, then! You have
some walking to do. When accessing the cache, keep your back
towards the baseball field, and then you will be accessing from the
right direction and searching in the right area. Also look around
for muggles, many go past this spot. Enjoy!
