Geocache Description:

The cache is located in Burlington near two recreational parks. Parking is near the given coordinates. There is a shopping mall nearby and some restaurants.

The park has several geometric objects in it. At the given coordinates ( point A ), you should see a pentagon with 2 right angles sandwiched between 2 rectangles. A white circle is only a few feet away. Point A is the vertex of a perfect square and 2 masked men can sometimes be seen here. Who are these masked men ? Point B is a short walk from here at ( N 42 28.820 , W 71 11.339 ) and has the same properties as point A. Draw AB as a line segment and find the coordinates of the midpoint. The cache is located 423 ft. from this midpoint on the semicircle. Some EASY bushwhacking will be required.
