8675309


Taken off the site:

This puzzle cache will take you to Belknap Park, a multi use park in the city of Grand Rapids. The coords listed above are for the statue of Charles Belknap, esteemed business and community leader, for whom the park is named. Take a minute if you have the time and read about all his accomplishments. Parking can be found close by.

This park features tennis courts, ball diamonds, and Griff's Ice House. A small pile of "snow" can be found here year round, courtesy of the Zamboni. It's also the site of a very large and unusual sculpture by Robert Morris called "Earthwork". Locals affectionately call it the "Big X".

You will need to translate the information below to find the coords to the cache. You are looking for a small lock-n-lock that will accommodate small trade items. The area will occasionally be very muggle intense- winter and summer. The cache may be hard to find/retrieve in winter. The park closes at sunset.

Had to use the phone to get this one. The letters are the numbers
off the phone which will take you to the cache. Cool huh!

I'm just glad it wasn't up this hill..


Found it.. But you know I kind of knew where it was cause they
have a picture on the site with some kids that found it and well the pole
kind of gave it away.. lol

A Grand View 4



The person that is doing these caches have a series of them. They are pretty damn
cool to tell you the truth. Each one is a look out of Grand Rapids.
I have done 2 of them thus far. Tried another one and still can't find it, but I
will dang it..LOL





I found it. Now this cache was considered a nano. Which I found out is extremely small. About the size of a horse pill..

A Grand View 2


This is the third one of the day. Second one on the Grand series. Pretty cool view of the express way and buildings. It seems no matter where you look in Grand Rapids they are working on a building. Does this town ever stop building.. sheesh!




Tracy found this one..

Crypro Revealed


Decided to take my soon to be sister-inlaw out for a geo cache adventure. Let me tell
you it was.. We decided to wait until it stopped raining. Now if I would have had a clue it was thick woods we were in I would have brought a case of bug spray..lol
The mosquitoes were deadly mad for blood after the rain.

We did two of them in this thickness today and left with lots of tiny reds
spots all over us. I asked Roberta if she still wanted to ever go with us again and
she said yep it was fun. So thank god the skeeters didn't run her away.

This was a one stager. Now I think it was only by chance that I found this one today.

Here we are in the thick of it all..




I think we are on to something here..


Yep..

I found it..

Crypto


This is the second one we did in the same woods done by the same people.
This one is a 2 stage. Now it seemed with this one that we just got into it thicker, and the skeeters were even more hunger.. good gravy. You know though once you find the cache it's all worth it :)

Roberta trying like hell to sheild herself from the camera and the skeeters..LOL



At least there is trails to follow..


Paige found the 1st Stage!!


And we found it!!

Nice park to throw a ball for the dog :)
I don't know why it took me so long to do this one considering it's
right down the road.
Small park and out of the way, but worth it. They did this cache the sly
way. I loved it when people use something different :)
Then of course we had to play in the park :)

Paige having to pose for the pictures.. :)


Totsue wanting to go and find the cache..


Hehe.. I found it.


Of course we had to check out the teeter totter..
