Geocache Description:


This is one in a series of caches that highlight the gifts of service called Eagle Service Projects. This is an offset cache, so you will go to the given coords to secure clues to the final cache.


The coords listed above are for the Eagle Service Project of CL, a Scout who earned his Eagle Rank while a member of a BSA Troop in Clearwater, FL. No sign or plaque gives credit where credit is due.  By placing this cache, we hope to do so.

SPRING 2010 - THE BENCH COUNT HAS ***NOT*** CHANGED, BUT THEY ***HAVE*** BEEN REARRANGED BY CONSTRUCTION CHANGES. YOU STILL CANNOT SEE ALL OF THEM FROM YOUR GEOMOBILE, SO GET OUT AND GET COUNTING. USE YOUR GEOSENSE AND YOU'LL BE FIND... er... FINE.

CL's Eagle Service Project is at the given coords. While this place welcomes all visitors, you need not tarry past getting the two clues unless you make the choice to stay longer. CL spent a lot of time here, and is deemed a favored son.

See those shiny green things Yuzawa Kat and CSI Crue (that's Cache Scene Investigator Crue to you) are perched near?




Perhaps THAT's where they should have sat! Those are part of CL's Eagle Service Project.
How many of them are there in total? HINT: You can't tell by the picture alone,
and you can't count all of them while still sitting in your GeoMobile!
(How inappropriate would it have been if I had put the evil smilie here)


Make that number X = _____.


Nearby is a courtyard with a cement pond. At the top of that are several water carriers of a non-gargoylish nature. How many HORIZONTAL water carriers are there?


Make that Y = _____.

Now, let's combine them in various ways, and go for the final coords. You may sit where Yuzawa Kat and CSI Crue were sitting, or in your car, or in the nearby park to the northeast of the coords.


Y - 1 = A _____. X + Y = B _____. B - 1 = C _____.

N 28 00.A B C_____ _____ _____

X - 1 = D _____. X + 1 = E _____. A = F _____.

W 082 40.D E F_____ _____ _____


Now go for the cache!

This cache says MICRO, but it is one of your larger micros, larger than a film canister. Its original use was as a large pill container, so you might need to bring a child to help you open it. (I copied that directly from someone else's recent cache page.)

(Initial contents include two batteries, some GeoPogs,
and a log. Please bring your own pen or pencil.

We placed the final cache with the acceptance of KH, the Pinellas County Parks
Manager for Philippe Park.  Please respect any posted rules of
Philippe Park, especially speed limits and parking guidelines.
Philippe Park is open from dawn until dusk,
and also closes when the park is full.
~~ Have a blessed day.  Happy caching. ~~
