San Ramon Parks Word Lock Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

comishcraig: Time to pull the plug on this one. I stopped by tonight and removed the final stage of this cache. Thanks to all who participated in my first cache placement. I hate to archive my first cache, but the lock that is needed for it is missing. I will repurpose this container later.

Geocache Description:

Locked metal box hidden in a public park in plain sight. Combination can be solved in the following instructions.

One reason that I'm happy I've chosen San Ramon as the place to raise my children is because of the number of high quality public parks. They are everywhere in the city, and most schools also double as public parks. No matter where you live in San Ramon, it seems that there is a park within walking distance.

The cache box is at the coordinates listed, but you will need to first visit other San Ramon parks to figure out the combination. The combination is a word, not a series of numbers. Visit each of the parks at the coordinates below to get 5 letters. Unscramble the letters to make a 5-letter word that will unlock the cache box.

N 37* 45.553, W 121* 58.256 - The 2nd letter in the first word of the name of this park.

N 37* 44.529, W 121* 56.967 - The 5th letter in the second word of the name of this park.

N 37* 44.163, W 121* 56.778 - The 1st letter in the second word of the name of this park.

N 37* 44.141, W 121* 55.139 - The 5th letter in the second word of the name of this park.

N 37* 43.671, W 121* 55.848 - The 2nd letter in the second word of the name of this park.

There are no caches and no logs at any of the 5 parks you need to visit that make up the combination. Just a sign with the name of the park. If you know the names of all of the parks listed, you could figure out the combination without actually visiting the parks. But the point of this cache is to show you around the city and some of my favorite parks in it.

*** Please make sure you put the lock on so the next cacher doesn't have to put the combo in upside down and backwards. ***
