This was a lot of fun, especially on a beautifully clear day after an inversion. Two of the sites are under snow. I was able to excavate one of them to get the answer, but the other I'm guessing on. My answers didn't verify. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Thanks for the cache. Sunday was a beautiful day to look around the area and to solve the puzzles. My daughter had a great time and we both enjoyed learning a little more about local history. I'm going to go back with 2 quarters and a penny so I can get a stretched penny from the gift shop as a keepsake.
