IMPORTANT - THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
Please don't go there. They won't like you in their back yard.
I enjoy history and look for historical markers where ever I can find them. I also watch for geocaches that have something to do with history. I’ve not seen a historical cache about Utah so here is one now. Puzzles are also fun so I put them together.
Below are some activities that happened in Utah in the 1800s. Match them up with the year it happened to find the coordinates to this cache. I used this link for my research, https://www.uen.org/utah_history_encyclopedia/
Example, Utah became a state is a 9 and that happened in 1896 which is a K so K=9.
