Geocache Description:


Fargo-Moorhead GeoTour LogoThis cache is part of the Fargo-Moorhead GeoTour, the first official GeoTour in the states of Minnesota & North Dakota.

Use the passport to track your progress in collecting “code words” at each location. Find 20 of the 24 Fargo-Moorhead GeoTour caches to earn an official GeoTour coin, and find all 24 caches to earn a virtual souvenir from HQ.

**Note the word in the top left. Use the first four letters to unlock the cache at the final location. 

The final location was placed with permission near the historic Great Northern train depot. Please use stealth when locating this cache to ensure it stays in place for all to enjoy. Please operate the cache with caution. 

At the time of the station's construction, Fargo-Moorhead was served by both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railroad. Built in 1898, the depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. 

Special thanks to the Great Northern Bicycle Company and to Trycacheus, a geocaching legend known for his wonderful caches placed near Gilby, North Dakota. If you have time and enjoy gadget-style caches, I'd recommend the trip.
