Geocache Description:

NOTE!!!  The cache is not at the location of the posted coordinates.  You will have to take the time to solve the puzzle in order to find the correct coordinates of the final location.  Good Luck!!

History has been filled with Decades of fun and amazing things!


Decade by Decade

Every decade of the twentieth century had its own personality. This personality was formed by both the people and the events that dominated it. It's time to brush up on history and learn more about the twentieth century by exploring its decades. This puzzle will require you to do a little research on the history of events that have taken place between 1900 and 1999.  I am in no way a history buff myself, so this puzzle was fun to create and look back on major events that have taken place.  Have fun!
