Geocache Description:

This multistage cache, with a few puzzles along the way, will take you to some parts of South Run Park that are less visited.


All of the stages can be found along the various sections of the Spartan Trail. The usual precautions for thorns, ticks, and poison plants are recommended. South Run is a big park, be prepared for a lengthy hike on a variety of trail surfaces. Some of the trails barely exist anymore. Plan on some bushwhacking.

Before you head to the park make sure you have the answer to this question in hand: What year did Honeywell Inc. acquire Hughey & Phillips Inc?

Parking is available at many spots in the park, but the rec center is centrally located.

The first stage is a small cache containing further instructions. Carrying a pen and paper is recommended. The final container is unique and medium-sized.

3/12/16, First stage container updated. Second stage recovered. Clues updated significantly.

NOTICE: Please be respectful of the park hours. FCPA Parks are open dawn to dusk unless otherwise posted. If you enter the park after hours you are trespassing. If you are stopped you can be ticketed, or arrested and you will jeopardize the future of geocaching in the parks. Do NOT hunt this cache at night!
