Geocache Description:

Offset Multi-Cache. Park, "add" and grab. Located within 20 ft of parking. Bring your own pencil! The container holds a log only.

The Game is Afoot - and we're not just talking soccer!

This is an offset cache. Find the first location in the coordinates above, then use the two clues below to determine the actual location of the hidden log-only microcache!

1. Take the last three digits of the latitude (N) coordinate and add the number of letters in the first line of the sign, then add one more to determine the end of the new latitude (N) coordinate.

2. Take the last three digits of the longitude (W) coordinate and add the number of teeth in the gear, plus the number of letters in the logo, and finally the first digit of the year to determine the end of new longitude (W) coordinate.

Please note: The area is closed from 10:00 pm until 6:00 am. There is a great playground just to the west for the kids and tables for picnics.

Have Fun!
