Geocache Description:


This small, obscure park is tucked away near the intersection of two busy roads in south east Charlotte, just outside the Matthews city limits. Flat meadow and open woods, it's a cache for all lifestyles: those looking for a fast in and out, kids who want to search, parents can search while the kids play on the playground (and you can keep an eye on them), does the dog need a walk (a nice spot), go to church and find a cache on the way home, bring a picnic lunch and for desert, find a cache, it's easy, fun, and a refreshing spot midst the hustle and bustle of Charlotte.

Park opens and closes at dark. Please watch for muggles, and use your stealth skills. Trees and coverage should keep you from being seen.

You will need to complete this simple math problem to find the final cache coordinates. You will see a green park sign in front of you:

- count the number of bullet points on the sign,
and add 22, then subtract 21. Add this number to
the last 3 digits of the North parking
coordinates and you will have the cache North
coordinates. (The first 4 numbers are the same).

- Find the 6 numbers on the sign, add them together,
subtract 10 and add this number to the last 3 digits
of the West parking coordinates and you will have
the cache West coordinates. (The first 5 numbers are
the same).

The cache is a 'natural' cache with a log and small goodies, please leave small coins, pins, etc. While there is heavy tree cover, you should have no problem if you keep your head tilted down, and look for a freshly 'cut' tree stump.

Please make sure you properly care for the cache by closing both lids carefully and the dead needles and branches keep it looking natural. Thanks, hope you enjoyed it.
