Geocache Description:

This is a Multi-stage Cache located in Evanston, IL. You will find parking at the first stage, the ecology center with trash cans is directly across the street to the north, and a park with trash is across the street to the west.

This is a multi-stage cache that will start at the above coordinates. This site may be accessed by land only. If it has been raining or snowing be careful, it can get slippery. When doing the math it is necessary to do it in Decimal degrees (dd).

After finding the Micro cache at the above location (bridge) the searcher will get coordinates to a house. Divide the number in front of the house (north side) by 1,000,000. Now subtract this number from the north coordinates of the house and add it to the West coordinates of the bridge (Initial coordinates). This will give you a new position to find. Once you arrive there proceed west to the secret park and find a bench with a painting of a celestial body with a rotational period of 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes. Very discreetly, sit on the bench covering this object, unless it is missing again the co-ordinates are under you. Alternatively I have also place them under the "JERRY GARCIA'S BAND HALT" Sign (on the Poll). It lists the coordinates to the final stage. You are then looking for a Tupperware Box.

Safety Note: It is never necessary to cross the cyclone fence at the initial stage of this cache, you would be in the water! Cache in - Trash out! The ecology center has trash cans! You may also find trash in the bushes along the way so you may wish to carry a trash bag in addition to your GPS unit, calculator, water bottle, trail mix, travel bug pals and Science textbook. Two trash bags might be a good idea if you aren’t wearing your trusty goulashes and don't want you shoes to get muddy. There are also excellent walks both north and south of the bridge.
