Geocache Description:


Welcome to the "Around the Park We Go" multi-cache, placed in the North Collins Town Park. You will be following a nice little hiking trail in the woods behind the park for most of the trip. A lot of people don't even know it's there.

This cache will require you to correctly answer four riddles to find the partial coordinates to each leg. The missing numbers from the coordinates provided upon correctly answering each riddle will be found inside the container of the leg before it. For example, when going from Leg One to Leg Two, you will find the missing numbers from the coordinates for Leg Two (given to you upon correctly answering the riddle for Leg Two) will be inside the container of Leg One.

Coordinate Breakdown (with fake coordinates)
Leg One to Leg Two Mystery Coordinates:* N 42° 36.XXX W 078° 56.456
Numbers Inside Leg One Container: 123
Completed Coordinates to Get to Leg Two: N 42° 36.123 W 078° 56.456
* Given to you when you solve the Leg One to Leg Two riddle.

Correctly answer all the riddles and write down the given coordinates before beginning your journey, as you'll need the Internet to access them and the answers. There will be a link at the bottom of this page to a Zoho Sheets spreadsheet that is free to use and requires no registrations, downloads, etc. Simply read the riddle, input your answer in the "Your Answer" column and if the answer is right, the coordinates will appear in the "The Result" column! If you get stuck, try to think it over before asking a friend. If you and a friend are COMPLETELY stumped, you can either e-mail me for help, or look the answer up on the Internet (I prefer you try to solve it without looking though).

The first three legs are small containers, cleverly hidden and camouflaged. They won't require much effort to retrieve. The final is an ammo can, cleverly hidden, and it will require you to cross the creek (it's usually not too deep), as well as carefully climb a few feet up the ravine. Use your Geosense; it's NOT placed dangerously high.

A lot of time and thought went into this cache, and I would appreciate it if everyone could treat each leg of the cache, as well as the property that it is hidden on, with respect. Once you have found a leg of the cache, be gentle with it, place it back where you found it, and cover it back up nicely to camouflage it for the next adventurer to come along. Please be sure to replace each leg securely so that they won't get dislodged! Leg Two is tied, so please make sure the tie is secure, and Leg Three and the Final are weighed down with rocks, so make sure you put the rocks back!

If you have yet to find the other caches in the park, this will be a great time to do it, as the path of this cache intercepts just about every cache in the rest of the park. On dry, sunny days, make sure to bring plenty of water, and on rainy days, be prepared for a lot of mud!

Parking Coordinates: N 42° 34.850 W 078° 56.210
