CACHE IS NOT AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES – DO NOT STOP HERE
YOU CANNOT ACCESS FROM THE INTERSTATE/PARKWAY
You must first complete the puzzle to get the final coordinates and cache in hand.
Realizing not all geocachers travel in the same size vehicles (hello big-rig riders!) we ask you take a look at a satellite view of GZ to determine the best location for your parking. There’s room nearby for anything ranging from a bicycle to Class A recreational vehicle/18-wheeler, but pre-thought is needed for safety.
There's a story of a breakfast mix concocted (in the early 60s) by combining bits of circus peanuts with an existing oats cereal. I'm certain the creator never imagined his idea would be such a long-standing hit; yet 50+ years have passed and kids continue to beg for the “magically delicious” morsels!
The original release of the cereal had 4 marshmallow bits shapes: green clovers, pink hearts, orange stars, and yellow moons.
Disappearing not quite as fast as the cereal, this type of clover is being removed from many freeways.

More on the cereal. Most Baby-boomers can name off the original marshmallow shapes and colors, after all, they are the “stars” of the cereal. But what about the oat shapes? Those were bells, fish, arrowheads, clovers and X’s.
Were you ever guilty of sneaking off with the cereal for a marshmallow munch-out? I was! After eating JUST the marshmallows I would carefully pour the shaped oat pieces back into the box. I finally got caught when I forgot to shake the box before setting it back on the shelf. Mom knew someone was up to no good when she poured out several bowls – the first bowl lacked the colorful gems. Maybe I wasn't the only one who behaved badly.
In 1967 the oats were sugar coated.
