Welcome to the Happy Trails
The Smiley Face Geo-Art located SE of Sioux Falls SD, in the NW corner of Iowa near Larchwood, Alvord, Lester, Inwood and Rock Rapids IA
This trail consists of 101 Mystery/Puzzle caches in a 60 sq. mile radius & a bonus Mystery Cache that you will earn the coordinates to by finding 4 specially marked {***} caches along the trail. (You will need to collect the partial coordinates from all 4 marked caches to find the bonus cache - GC72Q12)
(I used a route planner program and found that the shortest driving distance to each cache is 79 miles and a total time span of 8 hours if 2 minutes are spent at each cache location. So this is totally doable in 1 day.)
This is NOT intended to be a powertrail!!!!
Please do not move caches.
Please do not drop replacement caches.
Please inform me of any issue you may encounter along the trail.
I am a very active cacher that will take care of any problems as they arrise. But I cannot take care of the trail if YOU do not let me know when there is an issue.
(I am sick and tired of finding out that caches have been moved, that there are 3 caches at the same location, etc... If I find out who has been doing this I will not hesitate to delete your Found It Logs. Please play with integrity.)
Some of the solutions to these caches will just be hidden coordinates in text that matches the background. Like the solution to this 1st cache whose solution is in the text on the line below.
N 43° 26.858 W 096° 23.364
Some of the solutions will be found by solving a puzzle or answering a question.
Have fun and cache on!!!!!
