Geocache Description:

This is one of four Christmas Trivia caches. * * THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES * * These are parking coordinates only. The turn off site is located on Highway 244 west of Mt. Rushmore. You must correctly answer the questions in the trivia quiz below to determine the coordinates to the cache.

There is so much more to the Christmas season than getting/buying presents, worrying about decorations or becoming frantic at the pace of the season. Take some time away from the hustle and bustle. Answer these questions correctly and go find the cache. Bring a Christmas trade item if you like. (Cache box is small.) If not, just enjoy the outing away from everything/body making you crazy at Christmas time. Year-round Christmas is still a favorite holiday for many. So if you can’t escape at Christmas time, come any time of year to recall Christmas trivia. * * * * The real coordinates will read thus: 43. AB.CDE / 103.FG.HIJ
