From 460 take Prices Fork Road exit. Turn onto Prices Fork Rd, heading AWAY from VT campus and downtown. Continue until light at Prices Fork and Heather Drive. Take left onto Heather Dr. Continue to intersection of Heather Dr. and Huntington La. Go straight through intersection. Ahead on your left is a park with a small pond. Park next to park (parking allowed only between 10AM and 11PM) or on side street.


If you find a geocoin, please LEAVE IT!

STEALTH is really important here, as this is a busy area. Move away from the hiding spot a little once it is found. If someone asks you what you are doing, be creative!

The STARTING POINT is three yellow posts in a row where the concrete path enters the park. Coordinates to the starting point:

N 37-13.207
W 80-26.882

PACE CALIBRATION leg: From the first post to the third post equals 4.5 of my paces (steps).

If you want to use a compass (optional) instead of following the legs: Stand at the middle yellow post. At a bearing of 100 degrees, take 92 paces in a straight line, and you will be at the box!

To follow legs directions to the cache (no compass), begin by standing at the middle post. Facing EAST and perpendicular to the road, take 43 PACES. Arrive at tree. From the tree take 16 PACES to the green sign. Continuing in the same direction, on the path take 26 PACES and stop. Turn 90 degrees left, walk 12 paces.

BOX is located under top of ramp. Facing gazebo, and using extreme stealth, reach under ramp from right-hand side.

Please be sure all the items are returned to the box (If there is any space left, you've forgotten something), the cover is sealed TIGHTLY, and it is hidden really well into its place when you leave.

Replace it as far in as possible when finished. Remember STEALTH! Please wipe stampers off and replace items carefully. There should be 3 stampers, 2 stamp pads, log book, geocache note in plastic bag, and a rag. Thanks!
