Geocache Description:

***THIS IS PART OF "THE WHODUNIT MULTICACHE," THOUGH IT STANDS ALONE AS A SINGLE FIND*** ***MAKE NOTE OF THE "CLUE" GAME CARD IN THE CACHE, THOUGH IT STAYS IN THE CACHE***

This is our favorite park in East Memphis. Our father, Canadian Bear, has been bringing us here since we were first able to walk. This park used to have a micro cache on the other side of the park, but the playground here is too fun for you not to visit. So all of you parents load your kids up and take a trip to the Pirate Ship Park! You will have to find a little bit of information in this multicache, mostly just by observing your surroundings. All locations are within the same park. Our father placed this cache without us even knowing! The cache coordinates will take you to an interesting spot. From this spot do the following: 1. Look east (you don't even have to move). How many feet will a baseball have to travel in order to make a homerun? Divide this number by the number of swing seats in the freestanding swing set. Subtract this number from the initial North coordinate to get the north coordinate of the final stage. 2. Using the home run distance again, subtract 66, then subtract that number from the intial West coordinate to get the West coordinate of the final stage. 3. Go find the micro, a magnetic keyholder! Please rehide the container so it is not clearly visible! Inside, TAPED TO THE INSIDE OF THE LID, the CLUE game card THAT IS TO STAY WITH THE CACHE. ***Be sure to make note of the CLUE game card in this cache in order to complete "The Whodunit Multicache." THE CARD SHOULD STAY IN THE CACHE FOR FUTURE FINDERS; ONLY MAKE NOTE OF ITS IDENTITY.*** NOTE: On 6 October 2005, I changed the final location to move it away from the playground. After the recent problems with playgrounds, I felt it best not to have unaccompanied adults wandering around the playground!

Cache is now maintained by Spencersb.
