This kid-friendly, three stage multi will lead you along level ground around the east side of Crown Hill Park. Allow 30 minutes for a walk along the eastern boundary of this park. Downgraded ratings to make this cache accessible to all. Actual terrain: 2. Actual difficulty: 3.

---

The first waypoint may be the busiest location in the entire park. Please be stealthy. (WP#1 has been muggled multiple times--and so now it is immovable.)

The second waypoint is five minutes walk away. Every fifteen minutes a clock will chime loudly. See if you can identify where the sound is coming from.

The third and final waypoint is a camo pill bottle, about 10 minutes walk away. Walk 35 paces west of the tree stump.

Can you guess why this cache is called The Cremation of Sam McGee? It's the title of one of my favorite poems by Robert W. Service.

Today I came out west to grab a few specific geocaches with @WindAtMyBack . We began at Crown Hill Lake. This was the first cache we attempted. Each step was easy to follow, but sometimes our brains were a little numbed by the cold. We were able to grab another geocache before arriving at the final for this one. TFTC!

This afternoon I partook of the grand Crown Hill Park geocache tour. This was the fifth and final smiley of the tour. There were countless dog walkers and muggles in general, so it was very challenging to be stealthy. I took a couple of missteps, including stumbling into a homeless camp, but after backtracking and sticking with it, I was able to find the final container. All is well here and thanks for creating this multi cache paulks.
Cheers, keep calm and cache on!

Pro tip: make sure you put in your waypoint coords correctly! TFTC!!

We don't do many multis but since we were out here went ahead and found. The final was the hardest because the coords only work if you read the hint on where to go from there.

Our first multi cash. Our steps must be small! Waved to family and friends at Tower of Memories. Beautiful sunset!

Well I finally made it through this time. I tried this one a few years ago but GZ was too muggle infested so was never able to find WP1 but I made an attempt based on the hints & photos to no avail. Today there were muggles at WP1 but as I tried to "look " the main one left. I was lucky & spotted the coordinates without attracting too much attention from the others.
Headed to WP2 which got me in the general area then the hint zeroed me in. Same as the final. Finally got my JH on that elusive log.
