Every Day Heroes: Working Together Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

I wanted to honor our everyday heroes in our local emergency services by creating a series of caches dedicated to them. This cache is the first in the series and takes you on a very short walking tour that highlights the different departments that work together. Metered parking is available on Main Street so bring some change.

The cache is not at these coordinates. The location of the coordinates is the starting point to answer a series of questions. The answers to these questions will provide you with the coordinates for the actual cache which is about a 10 minute walk from the last set of questions. You can walk to it through the neighborhood or drive around to “the other side”.
 


 


40° AE.FCJ N     74° GB.HID W
