Coulon Memorial Stroll Multi-Cache
mc3cats: I am going to archive this one. I have replaced it a few times now. Either the park maintenance folks are removing it or muggles. It had a great run. Thanks to all who visited this one over the years.

The cache is not at the listed coordinates. Finding this cache requires you make a very short walk in Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park. If you follow the paved path from one end of the park to the other you will find a surprising number of memorial plaques placed near benches and trees along the way. The intermediate waypoints' data are gathered primarily from a minute sampling of these plaques.
The listed coordinates are for the recommended parking area; your journey begins and ends nearby.
**Please replace as found, to avoid detection by muggles**
