_______________________________

The actually cache location is near a site that still has remnants of the region's heritage. I do not encourage exploring because some areas look very dangerous. The find should be pretty easy once the quiz and puzzle parts are complete.

The container is regular in size with a log notebook.

There is a First to Find prize.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
