Geocache Description:

ABCD????? Park, in Kohler.

I found this park last year when there was construction in this area which diverted traffic through it. But when I started researching the park for a cache it took awhile to prove that this was actually a park, and what the name is. I mean, it's obviously a park. It has a jungle gym, basketball courts, picnic tables, joggers, soccer players, etc. But it was hard to actually prove it.

Anyway, the cache coordinates will take you to parking. But to find the coordinates for the first stage, you need to find the name of the park. Take the first four letters in the name and assign their order number to them. For example, A=1, B=2, J=10, and Z=26. Then complete the following calculations, with "A" being the order value of the first letter, "B" the second, "C" the third, and "D" the fourth:

YY = 5 x C
ZZ = A + B - D

The first stage is at N43 43.9YY W087 46.7ZZ. It is a cammo-covered microcache which has the coordinates for the final stash. There's some pretty steep slopes involved, so watch your step, please. Also, watch out for the groundhogs. I saw one run right into a hollow in a tree when I was first exploring the park. Neither stage is inside a tree, so please don't reach into any with your hands. And please cover up both stages a well as you found them, and don't mention the name of the park in your log. Thanks.

Also, I think it would be fun if everyone who finds the final invents their own name for the park and puts it in their log. I called it "Groundhog Park", since there were tons of them running around in the woods.

Oh, and if you need a hint, just E-mail me. Thanks.
