Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates are for a nice place to go kayaking, but they won't help you with the puzzle.

Dawn to dusk caching only. Container is a Lock & Lock and is not in a stone wall. Coordinates averaged with a Garmin GPSr. There's *lots* of bounce in the area, so feel free to use the hint. Please sign the log(online finds without a corresponding physical log signature will be deleted)and rehide as found to prevent muggling.

This is a hike to a beautiful area. Dogs are allowed; some of the terrain is a bit rugged in places, but there are well marked trails. I'll be happy to provide a set of parking coords-the hike ranges from a few hundred feet to a mile one way depending on where you park.

N41 and W71 are a given. Solve for the remaining numbers...

"The echidna is a mammal" Kelly insisted as she hiked with her friend Dawn. "I could have sworn it was a bird... I guess I lost my mind" replied Dawn. They had only 32 footsteps left until they reached their chosen picnic spot. Kelly mentioned that her sister was climbing the walls, she was so bored lately. Dawn, not really paying attention, replied "sorry, I was thinking about an unrelated thing". They ate their lunch, then walked some more until they came to an old pine box. They examined it and then noticed that there was a little fawn sleeping in the flowers-a photo opportunity they were glad to have. In fact, they both stayed there taking as many photos as they could without disturbing the fawn. Dawn felt around in her pocket for her token back to Brooklyn; she would need it that night. Kelly said good bye to Dawn, saying "I'm glad you came with me; I love this place so much, this is visit number three this week alone."
