Geo-Anniversary Cache Mystery Cache
umc: I'm archiving this cache along with others in Heritage park due to a recent email I received from a Farmington hills park person regarding caches in their park. Hopefully we can work something out with them to allow caches but for now the ones that are there will need to be retrieved. Thank you for your corporation.

We wanted to celebrate our 1-year geocaching anniversary by placing a new cache in one of our favorite parks. Since it is an anniversary cache, it has been stocked with all sorts of party themed items.
The coordinates above take you to the true location of the cache; HOWEVER, you will first need to explore Heritage Park for clues to unlock the ammo box.
The combination lock requires 3 digits to open that you can determine by visiting 3 different locations within Heritage Park.
The combination clues are:
Top digit: N42° 28.755 W083° 23.062
Count the number of pieces of cut wood used to make one of the benches. Add the digits of the answer together to end up with the top digit of the combination.
Middle digit: N42° 28.570 W083° 22.721
Count the number of creatures in the wood carving to end up with the middle digit of the combination.
Bottom digit: N42° 28.503 W083° 23.139
Count the number of large bolt heads facing the inside of the bridge. Add the digits of the answer together to end up with the bottom digit of the combination.
Please be aware that the combination to the lock is entered on the edge of the lock and not the front or back faces.
The cache is designed to take you on quite a few of the trails that the park has to offer. Start off on the Marsh Trail to get to stage 1. Backtrack on the Marsh Trail and then take the Windbreak Trail and Estate Trail to get to stage 2. Then, take the River Trail to stage 3. You can reach the final cache either from the River Trail or the Valley Trail.
