Geocache Description:


Cache is not at posted coordinates: You must solve the puzzle

This series is based on several other series around the country that are based on Jules Verne's, Around the World in 80 Days, but with a twist.  All these locations are inside Michigan. Michigan has several locations that are beautiful when looked at from a hot air balloon. We will take off on a virtual hot air balloon ride around Michigan. Below is a satellite image of one of our destinations. Enter the name of the destination in the puzzle checker below the picture and you will be provided with the cache coordinates. If it is a multi-word name then type it all together with lowercase letters, no spaces, but sometimes you will need hyphens, apostrophe, ampersand, and periods.  Enjoy your trip and I hope you learn about some interesting locations in Michigan.

 

Michigan Regions to help find the picture. Google Maps/Earth is your friend

If you are struggling to find the picture, then use the hint. The hint will get you close but you will still need to search the area. 

 

Parking coordinates for the caches on the rail trail are listed in the cache on each end of the trail. There are several parking spots as the trail crosses some gravel roads. There are some caches not on the rail trail.
