Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE HAS CHANGED TO A SMALL! ALSO, STAGE 2 HAS CHANGED IN NATURE AND LOCATION. PLEASE SEE NEW INFORMATION BELOW. Final coords are the same. 11-06-07. This is a three-stage multi-cache. If you follow the stages, you will enjoy a walk in a pleasant park by a lake. This cache is the first cache we have hidden. Since the cache has been muggled several times, we hope you will be very mindful of folks around when you retrieve it and please rehide it carefully. We hope you enjoy the walk.

Park at N 30° 00.749, W 099° 07.029 From the parking area, walk to stage one at N 30° 00.641, W 099° 06.994. Here you will find two three-digit numbers. These will be used to find stage two. (This location is near the lake so keep track of "little" cachers.) Please note that the original site for stage 2 was moved (because they chopped down the tree it was on ) For stage two, go to N 30° 00.XXX , W 099° 06.YYY where XXX is the first of the three numbers found at stage one and YYY is the second number found at stage one. At stage two, go NE (northeast) about 85 feet to a blue park sign. There are 5 words on this sign. Count the number of letters in each of the five words to obtain the following: V = the number of letters in the first word W = the number of letters in the second word X = the number of letters in the third word Y = the number of letters in the fourth word Z = the number of letters in the fifth word The cache is located at N 30° 00.ABC and W 099° 06.DEF where ABCDEF are computed as follows: A = W + X; B = W; C = Z - X; D = V; E = Y; F = V - X. Enjoy!
