Geocache Description:

This is a themed, five stage multi cache. The purpose is to take you on a trip of some of Carson City’s history. Some better known, while some of it is lesser known.

As the curator of a local museum, you fancy yourself an amateur but avid historian/archeologist. Your passion has been recently re-invigorated since watching the movie “National Treasure”. Consequently, you walk through the museum always looking for those subtle clues that will enable you to find the next “BIG” discovery and place your name among those legendary explorers.

Then one day it happens!! As you are about to walk out the door you glance at a display, and you notice something peculiar. You are sure this is just what you have been looking for. Not wanting to let anyone know what you have found, you quietly write down a little reminder (clue) so you will not forget what it is you have seen. You are positive this will lead you to the historic discovery of a lifetime.

With the little bit of investigation you have done so far, you know a few things. You know those who were involved. But first you have to find where they used to meet to find the "documents" that will tell you where they are now. You hope this will lead you to where they used to work when they found their fortune, and also where they hid their treasures.

Stage one: Is available during the hours: 10:00 am – 4:30 pm daily. You do not need to move or remove anything.

Stage three: Is accessible dawn to dusk.

Stage four: DO NOT ENTER!!

Stage five: Short hike off dirt road (even NevadaWolf made it...TWICE). But you may want to wear long pants.
