Most people drive straight through, so we hope this little multi will persuade you to take time to see some of the sights and learn a little of the town’s history. There are three preliminary locations to visit followed by a short walk to the cache. You should be able to complete the cache in about 30 minutes.

Now you can look for the cache.
Head south-west and look for a sign that will take you to S36° 20.(A+C)(L)(D) E141° 38.K(G+H)(E+J)
There, you will be looking for a mega bison tube, so no large swaps please, and BYO pen. As usual, please take the time to return the cache to the same place that you found it, and to replace the camo as you found it, to ensure the location remains hidden from passing muggles.
If the recommended approach to GZ is unavailable for any reason, you can find alternative access at S36 20.224, E141 39.060
