Geocache Description:

This virtual cache is located in the historic mining town of Columbia. It's a great little town to explore. If you've never been there, or even if you have, here's a great chance to learn a little.

The cache is actually 4 stops. Get the information from each stop, and please Email me with the answer. Thanks!!

Location 1:Using the above coordinates, tell me how much gold was weighed on this scale during the time it was in use. Also, how accurate is the scale??

Location 2: Coordinates N 38 02.115 W 120 24.042 This house was used in the filming of what classic American movie??

Location 3: Coordinates N 38 02.096 W 120 24.071 The audio seems to be out of order at this location, so just tell me what type of "business" is depicted here, and some of the things you see.
Note:Please let me know if they fix the audio. Thanks!

Location 4: Coordinates N 38 02.133 W 120 23.993 How many cells are in the Columbia jail???

And that's it. When posting your visit report, please don't give away the answers. Please email them to me. Have a good time, and if you aren't doing anything on the 4th of July, come on back. Columbia holds a great 4th of July parade!!
