Horace Slughorn – #16 Provo Potter Parkway Series
The Horace Slughorn cache is part of the Provo Potter Parkway Series. This is one of four Hogwarts Professor caches that each contain a number needed for the combination lock to open the Rubeus Hagrid Bonus Cache.
This series includes caches along the Provo River Parkway trail. Some are at a distance from parking lots that provide trail access, but all are steps from the paved trail which is easily navigated by biking or walking.

Muggle Awareness
Beware of muggles. Sections of the Provo River Parkway Trail can have high traffic, particularly on weekends. Stealth is required. Please don’t be the one responsible for a call to the Obliviator Headquarters at the Ministry of Magic. We would like to keep the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes out of this.
Happy hunting!
