This multi is designed to give cachers a taste of the town, taking you to 7 significant locations for clues and the final bringing the total to 8. While the multi should be straight-forward, how long it takes to complete will be dependent mainly on how many of the information sign boards you want to read and how long you want to spend at each location.
