Geocache Description:

This is a seven-stop cache that uses a variety of common clue types. It is intended to be a little longer and harder than most. You will need to obtain information from each stop to find the next stop, and the final cache. There is nothing hidden at stops 2, 3, 5, and 6. Stop 4 is a micro, the final is a full size cache.

The hunt should take about an hour to complete (with no mistakes). It’s an easy walk, no bushwhacking is required. Bring a pencil to fill in the blanks.
