TreePlanter: Thanks for the visits! Sketcher and I picked the ammo box up today on a fine day. I hope to use this container for a new cache in the Highland Rec area. Once the permit and DNR
rules get posted.
Thanks again! See you on the trails!

Geocache Description:

It All Adds Up !




This cache is at the brand new Duck Lake Pines Park off of Duck Lake Road. This park has everything, except for a cache! (Up until now!) It has a roller blade rink, tennis courts, a play set for kids, basketball courts, volleyball courts, baseball diamonds, a clean restroom, drinking fountains, picnic tables and even vending machines! This is where Sketcher does his roller hockey. The park hours are 6:30am till 9:30 PM May through Oct. Then 8am to 8pm the rest of the year. NO HUNTING!(Except for caches!)

Too find this cache , you must go to the virtuals on the paved hiking path. Write down the plant and tree names. Add the letter values. A is 1, B is 2, C is 3, and so on. The first virtual has 14 letters, the second has 19, the third has 15. Then answer this question: How many tennis courts are there in this great park? Add the letters of this answer in the sum too. Multiply the grand total by five (This makes any errors, 5 times as bad!) and then add to both the N and W cords (ignore the decimal points) (add to the last four digits) to get to the final ammo box. The ammo box has a lot of goodies in it. Including a $5.00 first finders prize in lotto tickets and a piece of fools gold from Sketcher's rock collection. (He said it was OK to donate.)

Have fun. Bring a calculator and paper. Easy math but lots of mistakes are possible. Average is two trips so far. If you are a hadicacher. Do the paved pathway. Email me the box coords, send me two extra plants that are not noted above , and take credit for the cache. Initial Hadicaching rating of: H 21111. (You went farther than other cachers!) First virtual cords are on the listing above. I've planted over 100 of these, and this is the first large one I've seen!

  • Second virtual cords are at N 42 39.044 W083 34.725
  • Third virtual is at: N 42 39.066 W 083 34.634
  • Your answer add to: N 42 35.765 W 083 31.465
  • Extra credit: What is the oddest thing along the paved path in this park? Hint: Rhymes with: Could Fall
email me. What is it for? (I have no idea.)

Watch for very low fencing just off of the trail area when searching for the cache. I missed it on the way in, and hit it on the way out.
