Geocache Description:

If you have ever read a "choose your own adventure" book then you will know where this cache is going and can skip the part where I describe how to go about doing this cache. This cache is located in Franklin Township park, and should be a nice walking cache. Be prepared though to spend approx. 1 hour completeing this cache. Difficulty is due to some of the containers you will be looking for and the possible number of steps.

This is a test for a choose your own adventure cache I would like to set out in the spring. The idea is for you go to the prescribed coordinates above, and there you will find a note asking you to choose a destination. You are to choose one and only one as your destination (I am holding you guys to the honor system here). From there you will find another note and another and so on until you reach the final cache, which is slightly smaller than a tennisball container.

Now this is only a stripped down version of this idea, no clues as to which path to take, no dead ends, or you loses or anything like that. This is only a test to see if the locals like this idea or not. So let me know what you think of the basic idea, if you have seen others like this and liked/disliked them, etc.

Until you reach the final cache destination you will be looking for one of the following containers:
-No container (e.g. coords listed somewhere on the site)
-Pencil lead container (as long as a 35mm film, but not much width)
-Altoids Strips container

Each are caumoflaged and hidden well, but in fairly obvious places. It is up to you to figure out what container is where and if you are looking for the final cache container. PLEASE rehide all containers as well as or better than you found them.

When on your journey stay where it is easy to walk. If the grass isn't mowed, don't go there. There is private property surrounding the park and I don't needs no trouble with this cache. You shouldn't need to jump the fences or anything like that.

If you have a problem locating a site or you think a site is missing, DO NOT post the site number in you DNF or other log, also do not reveal how many sites you think there are, that is part of the fun. Email me directly for any problems, although you can still list the existence of a problem, just do not list a number or give alt coords. Give those details directly to me.

I will give one hint to the first site for now to make sure you at least get started, but try not to use it if you don't have to.

Also, BEWARE of muggles. If there is a game of some kind, chances are you won't be able to go unnoticed, but either way be cautious, you will be very exposed to anyone using or hanging around the park.

Finally, what I would like you to do is post how many steps it took to get to the final cache with the coordinates listed above as your first step and the final cache as your last. Also, if you would, please email me directly the path you took, just out of curiosity.
