robert: Cache has been removed. This was a fun one to hide though not a lot found it. Left the "container" (since it's natural) though retrieved the "capsule" containing the logbook.

Thanks to those who found it!

30 - Found it!

Geocache Description:

PLACED WITH PERMISSION FROM PARK SUPERVISOR.
Please observe park hours at all times!

3-stage multi-cache in Atholton Park, Howard County. Parking is available right at stage 1.

CONGRATS to Grandpa and Grandma for FTF honors! Enjoy your new Maryland Geocoin!


When my Atholton Park Cache disappeared, I had to get a new cache hidden in this park. It's a nice little out of the way park that is just perfect for a single cache or a quick multi-stage.

The other cache was a simple, "go find it" cache. This one will take you a bit longer, but not much. While scoping out the area, I went into a little area off the beaten path and saw the guy pictured below. Hopefully you won't run into him as well!

At stage 1 you'll find a sign with some numbers (use the ones at the bottom of the sign). Put them in the following format: AB.CDE

Stage 2: Using the numbers from stage 1, you will go to 39 AA.2A3 76 5A.B4C When you get to stage 2 you'll find another number (look closely!)

Stage 3: Take that number and subtract it from 512 for the last 3 digits of the latitude (answer=YYY) and add it to 617 for the last 3 digits of the longitude (answer=ZZZ).

The final cache will be at 39 11.YYY 076 51.ZZZ

Good luck! And please re-place the cache the way you found it. Thanks!!
