THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE ARE BOGUS; THEY WILL NOT LEAD YOU TO THE CACHE! YOU MUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO FIND THE CORRECT COORDINATES
This cache was developed to test the knowledge of Americans on a topic that should be very familiar to each and every one of us… The Constitutional Amendments to include the Bill of Rights. This country was founded on these principles and no matter what our political beliefs are, these rights are an essential part of American life and law. It will lead you to a place where these amendments are upheld. In order to find these coordinates simply answer the questions under the “North” section, then the “West” section in order. (N 29 and W 090 are a given) Good luck and happy caching!
