Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LISTED COORDINATES.

For some time, I have been thinking about creating a series of caches based on some of my all-time favorite movies. This cache is the second in that series. And I think it was fitting that I placed it on Groundhog Day!

To get the actual coordinates for the cache, all you have to do is watch the movie and answer the ten questions listed below. I watched the “Groundhog Day – Special 15th Anniversary Edition” DVD while researching these questions. You may watch any version of this movie (DVD, VHS, TV broadcast) and I am confident the answers will be there for your discovery.
