Welcome! City of Troy, IL
This box was created as an introduction to Geocaching and Letterboxing in the Troy IL area.
Your first step is to locate the Mersinger Cabin.
The Kiosk (at the given coordinates) will provide you with information about the city.
Get out your compass and face North-NorthEast (or 25degrees E).
152 steps should bring you to a stand of several trees.
Stand between them and you should find a black box attached to one of the trees. Open it -the lettercache is inside.
(Originally, this box was intended to be attached to the back side of the new "Welcome to Troy" sign. The SIgn design didn't accommodate the geocache box well ...so this hiding spot was our next best option)
