Tommy Davis Park is a gem in the Denver Tech Center. Although there is very limited parking, it's a beautiful park with something for everyone. Great playground area. A pond, bridges, stream, walking paths, open grass area, tennis court, basketball court and even sand volleyball area! 

 

With this cache, you'll experience the southern portion of the park. Two stage multi that will keep you in the park. After you've found Stage One, head over to the benches to figure out where you're headed next! Please replace Stage One exactly where you found it. There used to be a cache in this park but it went missing a couple years ago. Surprisingly, there haven't been others placed here! I'm pretty sure this one will be safe though. 

 

When my daughter and I hid it, it was a Sunday with quite a few muggles walking around. Weekends will likely be busy and stealth is paramount at Stage One. At Stage Two, people just may think you're weird or ignore you completely. 

UPDATE: Apparently stealth is needed on cold Tuesday mornings too, as evidenced by herndonrd's log! If you want to make your time at Stage 1 as short as possible, read the (now more explicit!) hint. If you want to have a riskier search, go for it!

 

 Have fun and be safe! 


Congrats to PayMeCache and heh324 for the cold FTF!

 Hints

[Stage 1]: You probably can't see it. If you can, it wasn't in the original spot. On the support on the NW side. Close to water's edge. [Stage 2]: While it is possible, it's not likely you'll spot this from the ground. Shiny and tiny.

Finally took the time to get over here and move the final to the right spot. It is possible to see it from the ground at the right angle. Best just to start heading up though. Center.

Since it's still a climber and not missing, I'm enabling. But I hope to get there soon to get it up higher, safe from muggle view.

I read the logs on this and decided it was still doable. It was tricky at the first stage but finally got it. The final is still a climber but visible from the ground. Sl, thanks!

Checked this one out when I did the other hides in the park. Actually spotted the container, so I knew what I was looking for. Was in the neighborhood, so I stopped by and there it was, not in the original spot, but still up there and challenging! Signed log and replaced. Thanks for a neat multi!

WE found the first part quickly and figured out where to go. After lots of looking it was luckily spotted on the ground. We signed the log and replaced but not sure where it was originally.

Need to get final back in place

We found stage 1 without too much trouble. Got the needed information and went to stage 2. Got there and looked around but didn't find the container. We were going to look at another spot and looked down to see the cache on the ground. I replaced it but I think it's not in the right spot.

Today I got a call from @fearthefish letting me know that he has successfully completed a challenge. Usually his phone calls are more of a taunt, letting me know I'm inferior. But this time he called to invite us to celebrate the occasion. So we called in the troops. The loyal @herndonrd was already with him and I called @2lablovers and then @windatmyback and I met them all at the named puzzle cache. Coincidentally, it was one I found yesterday. We met up, took the required celebration picture, and then grabbed lunch. Afterward we grabbed a few more caches.
We grabbed an Invasion cache nearby and gave this multi a go. Well Done. I love the final placement! TFTC!

So here goes... after gravy a few other easy caches in the area, the choice was try to get a previous DNF or go for the awesome D/T rating of this multi in the DARK. Yup... the DARK it is. Headed to stage 1. Once arrived, there was some apprehensions about this location since Herndonrd had some issues with the Police. However we must push on. Then someone let there dog outside and could feel eyes on me. Had to PAF with a little help to speed up find and avoid any run in like Herndonrd. Once I had the info needed, off to the Final. At the final this is where the fun began!! I wonder what people thought seeing flashing lights in a tree! Hahaha!
Not seeing anything I knew what needed to be done. A few mins later sitting in a perfect spot there it was. THE GLORIOUS CACHE!! Signed the log and was on our way. This one definitely earned a favorite point. Loved everything about this multi from start to finish. I know I may have made this harder since we found it in the Dark of night!! Thanks for a fun and awesome adventure!!

Some may say we are crazy, but this game/hobby is one of the greatest gifts. Who doesn’t love a great scavenger hunt. Hiking, biking or driving hundreds of miles to sign our name on a piece of paper. This brings us a lifetime of joy.

Thanks for placing this cache and keeping our recreation going. SL/with PoshCacher/MagicCacher.Tftc

Another fun find in the park with animjason and Bhob. I was being a little fussy, so Bhob did the dirty work on this one. Thanks so much!

Went out for a couple of geocaches with "animjason" and "BearAdair" on a most pleasant fall day - this was the last of the two. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Found with BearAdair and Bhob today. Thanks for another multi. Working my way towards 500. Made pretty quick work of both stages. Found someone's cell phone too, but left it where we found it.

Thanks benj59! Logged Tommy Davis Park from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Where to begin? Let's start with I got to meet Greenwood Village police. After the strip search (just kidding- they were really nice) while I was messaging with the CO I finally found WP1 which was a you know what. With a little guidance I went to the final and found the "little silver shiny thing" which I don't think you can see from the ground. Disappointed to see PMC's name on the log (since he hadn't logged it yet I thought I was in the running for FTF) but what the heck. Oops I lost my pen so back to the car again and then put it back in place. Give it a fav for the sheer torture this was. TFTC!
