At $13 million, the John Venezia park, which opened July 8th 2017, has been planned since 2000, under construction for the past 2.5 years and is Colorado Spring's latest park installment with the prior one completed in 2005. There is much to enjoy here from the playing fields and the spray park to the meditation station and the pavilions.


This is a projection cache that puts you in another area of the park. You can either use a tool like Cachly or an online coordinate projection tool. I've written a modest one you can use.

To get the final location, head to the posted coordinates then solve for the following bearing, true north:
Millet Wheat = MW°
And the following distance:
Corn Oats Barley Hay = COBH feet.


This hide is designed to blend in with the park features so that it doesn't detract from its charm and beauty. Feel free to message me if you'd like a hint. I need to make more friends, so you'd actually be doing me the favor.


Congratulations to Claudey & Kerewin0430 for their FTF!

 Hints

Each letter represents a single digit number.
From the *posted* coordinates, head MW° for COBH feet. Look for a well camouflaged container.
Math check: for variable values used in this replacement cypher, M+W+C+O+B+H = 20.

Had time to start this one the other evening before it got dark enough for the night cache.

Very nice container!

Thanks for a fun one!

TFTC & puzzle. At location, PAF as coords were off a bit. SL & moved on.

It took a couple of messages to the cache owner to figure this one out. I was confused that one of the numbers was two digits. It turns out you're only supposed to use the "ones" digit there and not the "tens" digit. Oh well, so it took an extra visit to the park to log this as found. Came over after dinner and before the snow hit. The boys logged in as well since they have their own accounts now. TFTC!
