Geocache Description:

A good cache for exercising your mind as well as your body.

Gibbons Park has been the site of a couple caches. I have been going by there for quite sometime now knowing that they were gone and thinking that would be another good cache site. The cache coordinate listed above take you to this quote,

“You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.”

I thought this would be perfect for a cache theme. As you stroll the winding paved paths through the park there are many stations that give details for exercise and staying active for our elderly generation. With these ideas there are a number of quotes. To find this cache you will have to go to each station and answer some questions and do some math.

The cache container is a 6” X 6” plastic container with small exercise items for kids. Please try to keep with the theme. Good luck and work your body and mind!
