Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park Museum Virtual Cache

This cache has been archived.

Highpointer: It appears that this virtual cache has run its course and it is obsolete. There are many caches throughout Papago Park, and I encourage geocachers to continue to place more caches throughout this scenic and historic urban park that provides a rich variety of recreational opportunities. I could be good to use the site of this museum as the initial coordinates for a multi or puzzle cache.
