Geocache Description:



This is not the cache container, but the find will be child's play nonetheless. Stealth may be necessary, as there is a picnic area around here. Please replace camouflage. I hope you'll take the opportunity to find the nearby caches in the series, too.

The cache is a small lock'n'lock container. It contains a gift card for the first to find and also contains several tetrahedral dice.

The cache also contains a clue to the final coordinates for Plato's Five Gems: Bunganator's Grand Slam.

The Tetrahedron is one of the five Platonic Solids. A Platonic solid is a convex polyhedron that has identical regular polygons for faces and has the same number of faces arranged around each vertex. See my blog for a proof that there are only five Platonic solids.

The Tetrahedron has four faces that are equilateral triangles, with three of the faces arranged around each of the four vertices, and six edges.

Enjoy!
