Geocache Description:

~~CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!!~~
Let's go on a trip around Minnesota!
I wanted to create a multi-cache to fulfill the requirements for Naked Scrabble, and thought it would be fun to drive to cities that begin with "S". I searched, but did not find any restrictions on distance between stages - let me know if you find any! Instead, we will take a virtual drive. Ready?

Congrats to SeeingItDifferent (SID) on the FTF!!!
