This is a virtual multi-cache. The coordinates are to the first
location. Parking maybe a part of the challenge. This cache is
completely stroller friendly if you are willing to walk.
This is the current location of the Original Search Engine in Fort
Worth. From here you will need to determine the original location.
Answer the questions at the first location to determine the
coordinates for the second location. Your coordinates (read

To log this as a find, please answer the following question:
What year was this plaque placed (the metal historical marker NOT
the granite one)?
Once you have the answer, verify your find by emailing the cache
owner. If I do not receive an email, I reserve the right to delete
your log! As with most virtual caches, you are expected to
PHYSICALLY visit the site to log a find. Internet searches and
other 'remote' methods of locating the information do not qualify.
