Geocache Description:

This short adventure will introduce you to three places in my home town where I spent a lot of my childhood. Only a moderate amount of driving between stages is necessary. Just a micro at the end but still fun to do.


Stage 1: Proceed to posted coordinates. Look closely and use some imagination and you'll realize you're behind home plate. Here is where I first played what was then known as "midget league" baseball, back in the days before the "tee" existed. At these coordinates you'll find a number; remove the leading digit and the dash and you'll be left with a six-digit number, X.

Stage 2: To get here you'll need to complete the 'minutes' part of N31(Y) W085(Z), where: Y=X-89394 and Z=X-90063 If you've done your math correctly you should find yourself about right-center field where I first played Little League ball. Lefties had an easier time at "taking one out" than the rest of us, so I taught myself to switch hit. If you're in the right position you'll find all the necessary information to get you to the cache.


UPDATE 7/19/07: Recent construction/destruction has rendered any semblance of a ballfield moot. Trust me, tho, it WAS there, as IS stage 2.

Stage 3: You're here. Although this park is still used it doesn't seem to have the life it did 30+ years ago. This park is where I finished Little League, played Pony League, and later adult softball before moving away. Sign the log & rehide carefully to avoid muggles, and think back on your own glory days! **

Congratulations CCINDY/BUBB for FTF! **
