A nice easy park and grab in a gorgeous part of town. I didn't realize how many areas look so remote, but are just minutes from town.

I had to email Razz007 for a hint. I can't believe how GPS blind I was. It was in an obvious sign. Duh Ang

old Google maps image of the five diamonds

This site might have had five "diamonds" but three of them were missing. One sign was on the ground and the cache was lying out in the open. I signed it and put it back into one of the missing "End of road" diamond signs.

Another of Floaten's puzzles. They are soooo hard, and sooooo alluring! Razz007 helped mentor me through this one. HTML usage and four copies. LOL It'll make sense after you solve it.

#0031 - #0036- Edumacation Series

Team: A,J,C

These were all park and grabs. There is nothing interesting to talk about so I'm going to lump them together.

I got an email from Razz this weekend informing me that the Edumacation series was back on active status. So I woke up the teenager, bribed him with coffee, and we went out to grab a few. He's been bugging me about his unlimited 3 flamingos trip. (And what better way to start a vacation week??!?)

Easy find. #4/15

My Knitting bestie and Geocache mentor took her family out to find all of these in one fell swoop. She got to the final coordinates only to find the whole area bulldozed!! The owner contacted me that evening to let me know the situation is being fixed. WOW! How sweet of him to notice that I've been working on them and to let me know the status. What a great  community. So I think we'll put this on pause till he sorts it all out.

This was at the corner of two busy streets...and in a muddy area. Glad I wore rainboots. I feel like such a criminal pawing around on street signs. I actually found this on the ground. The magnet must have not been secure from the last finder. Anyway we put it back properly.

"Um Mom, is this legal?"

We weren't sure where to look. The phone GPS I used is kind of vague. So we're walking up and down a VERY busy road. (Which taught me to cache on a busy road NOT during the end of the workday (5pm)

1 of 15

PS This is not where the cache is...just a good picture. I'm not THAT nice.

Edumacation Series

I want to get Jesse interested in geocaching...but I doubt it will happen without him getting out there to do it. And so I'm not above a little bribery. I told him that if he completed the WHOLE Edumacation series (without grumbling) then I will take him to 3 Flamingos (Frozen Yogurt place with a bazillion toppings) and allow him to buy any size.

Here is our goal:

Geocache Description:

Everyone knows that getting a good “edumacation”, (ahem) I mean education, is one of the longest and most important tasks that a person does in their lifetime. Learning never stops and neither do the people that provide the learning. This cache series is placed in dedication to all the teachers and administration of the Cabot school District that are entrusted to the continued education of our children, so that they may succeed in life.

Teachers are more than just educators. They are councilors, mentors and a friend to turn to when things can’t be discussed at home. They help us grow as individuals and teach us the skills necessary to interact with others and become part of society. The next time you see a teacher, be sure to thank them and tell them how much you appreciate all that they do every day.

NOW ON TO THE FUN!
The Cabot School District is made up of 9 Elementary Schools, 2 Middle Schools, 2 Junior High Schools, 1 High School and the Academic Center for Excellence, for a grand total of 15 total schools.

For extra credit, a cache has been placed in honor of each school in the current district.  Not only does each cache count as its own find, but it also will help to find the location of the final cache called,  Edumacation: Graduation!

Locate each of the 15 caches in the “Edumacation” series and note the code located in each container to work out the coordinates of the final.

NOTE: None of the 15 caches in this series, or the final, are located directly on school property.  However, they are close enough to their respective schools that you may still want to avoid hunting them just before school starts or right after it  lets out, so that you don’t get caught up in the traffic.
