Coulon Memorial Stroll Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

NWCats: 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.

Geocache Description:

  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**

 

Visit the waypoints below to collect the data needed to determine the final waypoint.
