There is nothing to find at the posted coordinates, but it is where you must go to begin this puzzle. Parking is available along the public streets, as well as in this lot, during certain times.
On the side of the building at GZ, you will see a large mural, which is a collaborative work of local artists. A sign in the lower-left corner, labeled as "Blair County Community Mural 2002," lists each location, along with the names of those involved in the creation of this beautiful, vibrant artwork.
Many of the locations pictured on the mural have geocaches nearby for you to find, and they also provide a great tour of some of the best sights/sites that Blair County has to offer. All are within 30 minutes or less of this spot. Take some time to explore them all!
Included below is a list of the 16 places depicted in the mural. Observe each spot and answer the questions to find the location of the final, which is a camo bison tube located a short distance away.
