Our pet python, Pete, has gone missing in Johns Homestead Park.
Please solve the puzzle to help us find him.
The given coordinates are not the cache coordinates but take you to what once was the only parking option. There is now a dedicated parking lot and trailhead, and the coordinates are posted below. This is a multi-stage/mystery cache where the puzzle is coded into a Python computer program script.
Solve this puzzle by opening this link which automatically runs the script (just click it). We assure you this is safe and does not read or write anything, from or to your device.

Since this URL downloads the code into your browser, the warning required by geocaching.com follows:
"Alert: You are about to download a file that contains details needed to find this geocache. As the geocache owner, I ensure that this file is safe to download. It has not been checked by Geocaching HQ or by the reviewer. Download this file at your own risk."
The code can be run on a smart phone, a notebook or tablet computer. You can start the process at home but you must finish it in the field. The program is interactive and will ask for input from each stage until you find the cache. When entering your answers you may need to click on the curser area to bring up a keyboard. Use the 'ENTER' or "RETURN" button after typing your input, not the 'DONE' button. The DONE button closes the keyboard. All stages are within the park, on or near the trail. Waypoint hints are offered in the code. You shouldn't have to walk much more than a half mile, round trip, along this easy path.
Note that explicit permission has been given by the Tucker Parks and Recreation
Department officials for the way the game pieces have been hidden.
