Geocache Description:

A Star Wars Trivia Cache, originally placed as a challenge at Sax Man's 4th Annual Campout

The coordinates above are not the coordinates for the cache, nor are they recomended parking. They are a possible parking spot, but it is in the campground, and you may be charged or intruding if you park there. It was the spot where we camped.

For event campout, I created a 36-question Star Wars-based trivia challenge, with 6 waypoints leading to the final.

I was trying to improve on what I had done last year's event Campout: I'd created a Disney-based trivia challenge, with 4 waypoints leading to the final.

This cache was only going to be a temporary cache - but one of team taylorsgeotracker offered to help maintain this cache if I published it as a permanent cache. So thanks to them, here is the cache for all to find!

Anyone who found it and signed the log during the camp-out may log this as a find from the campout weekend.

I've simplified the challenge a little - there is no longer 6 waypoints to find - and there are only 6 questions to answer instead of 36.

If you are having trouble with the questions, you might want to check in the nearby 'Wikipedia' cache.

Answer the following questions. Fill in the correct answer values in N39 18.abc W105 15.def
