This series has 47 traditional caches that are in kind of a circle with a mystery cache at the end. The series is meant to be a bit of a history lesson about one of the weirdest political offices in the US Government, the office of Vice President, as well as fun caching in the beautiful desert. 
To solve the mystery clues are written inside the cap of many of the caches throughout the series. In case you miss a clue the clues are repeated three times throughout the series. 
Location of the mystery:

N 40 22.ABC
W 112 22.DEF


Henry Wilson was the 18th vice president of the United States and a senator from Massachusetts. Before and during the American Civil War, he was a leading Republican, and a strong opponent of slavery. Wikipedia
