Geocache Description:

A higher-terrain loop in an ungroomed park, following a Whereigo cartridge. Special tool required: tape measure! Note attributes and prepare accordingly. During the warm seasons the route is very overgrown, so long pants and bug spray are highly recommended. The park borders private property, please be sure to avoid trespassing.

Howdy folks! I'm Bohick, a Martian with Incredibly Long Legs, also known as a M.I.L.L. (My legs may not look long to you but for a Martian they are huge.) Over 200 years ago I was adopted by a one Mr. Fox. (truth be told, my legs are a little short for a M.I.L.L., so you may know me as "Fox's Lower Mill"). But enough about me, we need your help!

My pals and I need to complete construction of our communications array. Once we finish we can send a message back to Mars and start the race back home. Download the Whereigo cartridge thingamijig to your field device, park at the posted coordinates, and meet me in the field nearby . Be sure to bring along a tape measure to assist us taking some measurements needed for the construction. Also, I'll give you coordinates to each stage if you want to use a separate device to help navigate. Good luck!

A note on the terrain in cased you missed it before: in the warm seasons prepare for very heavy undergrowth (my short-legged dog is a trooper but it tested her). Long pants, bug spray, and a pocketful of nasty names to call the CO are essential. The park borders private property, please be sure to avoid trespassing.
