Geocache Description:


The Sorting Hat at the Hogworts School has magical powers to sort students into each of the 4 houses. To find this cache, you will actually need to find the four houses first which will give you the clues you need to find the hat. Set off down the trail and you'll find the answers you seek.

To find the Sorting Hat, you'll need to solve for the final coordinates:
N44 2A.BCD W088 0E.FGH

The Fox River Trail is a state trail, so you can walk the trail for free, but if you choose to bike, you will need a state trail pass.
