Geocache Description:

Please note that this cache has been placed with permission of the National Parks because all the legs of the multi-cache before the final cache are VIRTUAL.

This five-leg multi-cache will bring you to beautiful places from Wellfleet to Provincetown.
You will drive to every leg of the cache, park and hike.

Bring a paper and a pen with you because you will need to gather information along the way to get from one leg of the cache to the next one.

ONLY the final cache features a container with a log book and trading items and is located on a private property. So don't feel weird about looking for the cache :)

When you drive to the first leg of the cache, you will need to find the coordinates of the second leg of the cache:
N 42° 00.ABC

When you drive to the second leg of the cache, check the waypoint for parking and hike towards the second leg of the cache where you will need to find the coordinates of the third leg of the cache (the sign has been removed and I give you the answer to the questions from the sign until it is replaced):
