Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LISTED COORDINATES.

This cache is the fifth in a series based on some of my all-time favorite movies.

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 an "Independence Day" Blu-ray Disc while researching these questions. You may watch any other version of this movie (DVD, VHS, TV broadcast), but if you do, I provide no assurances that you will discover all the answers.
