Geocache Description:

This cache was placed in celebration of Skully and Mulder et al's 1000th cache find and is located in Mahlon Dickerson reservation, parking is available nearby in the lot.

This is a two part puzzle cache. The posted first stage leads to a park pavillion where you will have to answer some questions and then substitute the answers for the number you find. I am not sure if a cache has been done like this before. The questions you need to answer are:
1. A = How many grills encompass the pavillion (Hint: the is one at each corner)
2. B = How many green recycling cans are in the immediate area of the pavillion (Hint: the recycling cans are blue, not green)
3. C = Please count how many of the red boxes are hanging from the front of the pavillion. (Hint: just look on the front of the paviillion)
4. D = How many compartments are on the train (Hint: Look carefully, it is not 5 or 7)

Here comes the tricky part, you might need someone's help with this. When you have answered all four questions you will need to substitute the letters for the numbers into the coordinates below. The final cache is hidden at these coordinates and there is a prize of 300 poker chips for the first to find winner!

N A1 (A-A)(A-A).9(A-B)3
W 07A (A-C)(A-C).798

I placed the cache in a very cleverly hidden spot that will be hard to find. But don't give up because it is not too hard. Make sure you are not being watched when you hunt for the cache.
Inside the cache I have placed some of my favorite items:
* a used golf ball
* plastic mctoy that has been opened
* an expired coupon to dairyqueen
* a pen
* a logbook (please sign it)
* rubber snakes
* a barry manilow tape
* chuck-e-cheese token
* a deck of cards

The final cache is a short walk but because you will have to walk a little off the trail it might be a terrain 3.

Congrats to Skully and Mulder et al for their 1000th cache milestone! Please place the final cache back as you found it.
