Geocache Description:

I like geocaching and Hubby likes history, hence.... a series of caches detailing a little history of Coppell.

A special token awaits inside for those who find this BONUS REWARD cache! Please only take one per cacher. I will try to keep tokens inside for future finders, but please let me know if cache is out and I will restock.


Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!

Please be careful and watch out for snakes at GZ, particularly in the afternoons and evenings of summer. I have not seen snakes at GZ, but others have.

In order to find this BONUS REWARD cache, one must first find the other 6 'History of Coppell' caches, which are:

GC6YMYB - History of Coppell #1 - Mustang Grapes
GC6YMYG - History of Coppell #2 - Windmill Historical Marker
GC6YMYQ - History of Coppell #3 - Water Supply Tank
GC6YMYX - History of Coppell #4 - Train Depot
GC6YMZ0 - History of Coppell #5 - Bethel School
GC6YMZ5 - History of Coppell #6 - Gibbs

On the log sheets inside each cache will be letters and numbers. With this information, one can determine the coordinates for this BONUS REWARD cache, which are:

N 32 5X.ABC W 96 5Y.DEF

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com or by using the solution checker below.

Please note that the cache was moved to a new location July 30, 2018. If the other caches in the series were found prior to this date, please message me and I will send the new numbers.

Please note that the cache is not too far off a nice groomed trail. No need to bushwhack until one is relatively close to GZ. See hint for more help.

Please note that there is a lock on the cache! Please pull down hard on the lock to open.

The combination is a significant date in the history of Coppell.
