Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates!!

Kalamazoo County needed a piece of geo-art, and this has been in the works (at least in my head) for quite a few months!  Most of these 16 caches (plus 1 bonus) are on a bike trail, and are available during the winter, but some are not that winter friendly.  A couple may be available as park and grabs, but are the minority.  Please enjoy this piece of geo-art!!


I hope you enjoy this geo-art as much as I have enjoyed placing all of the caches!  You will find yourself needing to answer 16 questions about the history of Kalamazoo County, and the answers should be available at the following two websites.  Select the correct answer from the 3 options listed below, and you'll have the coordinates for the actual cache container location!  Happy hunting!

Please let me know if you find yourself at a cache location and the container is definitely missing, I will do my best to get out and check on it / replace it as quickly as possible!
