This Geocaches contains 5 stages, two of which are physical caches. Every stage should be simple and will give you a tour around these two communities! You will not need to travel far outside of the two neighborhoods; all the stages of the Geocache are contained within this boundary:
Stage 1
Stage 1 of this geocache is at the posted coordinates. You should be in the Whispering Hollow Park! The coordinates should take you to a green "rules" sign on the side of a pillar. Read the sign to fill in these coordinates:
N 30° 05.ABC W 97° 52.DEF
- A = The last digit of the city ordinace article these rules come from.
- B = The number of bulleted rules minus 6.
- C = A + B
- D = The last digit of the time the park curfew begins at night.
- E = If smoking is allowed, use 8. If it is not allowed, use 4.
- F = The time that the park curfew ends in the morning.
Stage 2
Stage 2 will take you to the local pool, but you would need a key if you wanted to swim. Read the sign that the coordinates take you to and fill in these coordinates:
N 30° 05.ABC W 97° 51.DEF
- A = In the line, "____ for pool or HOA events," how many letters are in the first word?
- B = The first digit in the time where you cannot park in the lot. (Use the AM time, not PM)
- C = Find the line "_ and _ Towing" and subtract what you got for the second letter from what you got for the first letter.
- D = I couldn't think of anything for this one so it's 0 lol :)
- E = The fourth to last digit in the phone number.
- F = The last digit in the phone number. (Should be the same as the second to last digit)
Stage 3
Please approach this stage from inside the neighborhood, not FM 967! Not only is it less safe, you'll also be blocked by a fence trying to approach from there.
A physical stage! You'll find the coordinates for stage 4 inside, make sure you replace it well! I had no idea this park even existed until recently. It's tucked away behind the houses and hidden! I thought a hidden park would work as a nice place for a hidden Geocache.
Stage 4
Stage 4 will take you to another local pool, but you need a key for this one too. Fill in these coordinates using your surroundings:
N 30° 05.ABC W 97° 52.DEF
- A = Find the sign by the door that talks about skateboarding. A is the number of letters in the third and final word on that sign.
- B = On the side of the building you should see four numbers. B is the second highest number vertically.
- C = Using the same four numbers from B, C is the highest number vertically.
- D = You should see three words on the side of the building. D is the number of letters in the second word minus the number of letters in the third word.
- E = Find the sign by the parking lot that refers to parking overnight. E is the number of letters in the first word on that sign plus 2.
- F = B + D
Final
Final container hidden at a secret road between the two neighborhoods! You can approach this stage from either Whispering Hollow or Galic Creek (I'd suggest Garlic Creek since you should already be there from Stage 4). You may need to use some stealth depending on the time of day. Thanks for taking the tour around the neighborhood!
Congratulations Anteaus and Scooterino for the FTF!
and congratulations to cmaero for the FTF on Version 2!
