Geocache Description:

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTED COORDINATES DO NOT TAKE YOU TO THE CACHE. YOU MUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO OBTAIN THE CACHE LOCATION. This cache is part of HAB ‘G’art on the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway. Please make sure that you read descriptions for 01 HAB ‘G’art, X HAB ‘G’art, and Z HAB ‘G’art if you plan to finish this geo-art. You will need to gather information from some cache lids. Starting at 01 HAB 'G'art will be helpful. Please conserve space in log books. Initial and date only.

H is for Hockhocking Adena Bikeway(HAB)!
It's time to learn a little more about the path on which you are riding, running or walking.

You can find the answers to the HAB questions (A-C) on the related page (http://www.athensohio.com/whattodo/hockhocking-adena-bikeway) and its linked bikeway map.

You will find the container at N 39° 23.ABC W 082° 07.DEF
