Welcome folks to Quaker Rd! I drive down this road often and thought the abundance of roadside history would make a nice little reason for a puzzle along with a bit of a local history lesson as well. This puzzle will take you to a total of 4 roadside history signs, each of which you will have to gather information from to complete the puzzle and gain the final cache coordinates. These signs are all view-able from the side of the road and can be distinguished by their brilliant blue backgrounds with bright yellow, raised lettering. A coordinate checker is provided for the final hide.
Every good geocacher knows to always BYOP, an unsigned log can't be counted as a found geocache. Good luck!!
The cache coordinates are: N43 0A.BCD W077 4W.XYZ.
Translate the questions for each answer correctly and it should be a walk in the park.
