Stations along the Underground Railroad were a night’s travel apart, usually 10 to 20 miles. If indoors, the stations were farmhouse attics, cellars, the space under the floorboards, or inside hidden rooms - or they could be in barns, haylofts, or outbuildings. If outdoors, a cave, a hollowed out riverbank, or other sheltering item was preferrable, but a tree might do the trick!
After hiding during the day and resting, the fugitives either walked to their next destination, or they could be concealed in a boat or hidden in the bed of a wagon and driven to the next stop. You probably won't want to walk between these stops - we suggest driving or biking.

Great job hiding, but the people who just passed weren’t your pursuers, they are still behind you. Guvf gerr doesn’t offer much protection, keep going! You need to find somewhere safe, znlor n puhepu? Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Size: Small
Stop 3: Hint: zhfuebbzf sbe qvaare!
You tried to find shelter va guvf puhepu, but no one was there to help you. Even though you are exhausted, you must keep going. Don’t lose your way - fugitives found the Big Dipper in the sky, whose “bowl” points to the North Star, to help them continue northward. Sbyybj gur Fgnee! Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.5 Size: Small
