Geocache Description:

Small cache hidden in an appropriately small park. I was invited to the Big Band/Jazz summer concert series here, and dismayed to find that there was no longer a cache here. Parking at N38 00.934 W084 29.387

It's rated more difficult based on its open area, and possible difficulty to retrieve during baseball games. No off trail hiking is required.

8/17/04-Has been up for a few weeks, no longer Premium/Charter only.


There isn't a lot of space in this park for hidden caches, so it's hidden out in the open. Just remember, if it looks like it's supposed to be there, it may be a cache! This is a cache idea that we saw used in New Mexico, and later used when we lived in Texas. It's an unusual cache container that is visible to the naked eye by Geocachers and muggles alike. You'll need a code to get into the cache once you find it. Figuring it out is up to you; there are only 1000 combinations! Please re-lock when you are finished. To get the combination, read the clues in the otherwise unrelated following paragraph:

This is the first cache that I've hidden since our move here from San Antonio. My wife and I wanted to move closer to family and started researching cities last year. We had a spread sheet for cities from Chattanooga to Indianapolis that we would consider based on several important criteria: NPR station, universities, Thai and Indian restaurants, broadband internet, etc. We took our first trip through these cities last JUNE to get a feel for them, and see which ones we'd like to keep on our list. Once we'd decided on Lexington, we took a trip here in MARCH of this year to assess the job market. Now, we've finally arrived here in JULY and are getting settled in, quite happy to have found an active geocaching culture. We look forward to getting to know all of the Geocky members better.

Sun-moon-starz and Honkadoodle checked coordinates for me, and both get to log it, but neither get to claim FTF.

Started with various things, including some travel software, a Yellow Jeep TB and other assorted items.
