Geocache Description:


**BONUS** Cache for Historic Rio Grande City Adventure Lab

 

Historic Rio Grande City

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You must complete the 5-Stage Historic Rio Grande City Adventure Lab and earn the missing coordinates.

**NOTE** Original cache host has been cut down. You MUST add the following to the final coordinates given in the Adventure.
ADD 3 to the North Coordinate

ADD 7 to the West Coorfinate

Unlike a multi-stage Geocache, each stage of an Adventure Lab earns you a count in your total finds. However they are not searchable in Geocaching dot com. Adventure Labs require a special app on your phone or tablet.

Each stage will take you to one of the historic sites in or around Rio Grande City, Texas. **NOTE** LeBorde House courtyard is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. However, you can view the object and the answer to the question from outside the gate. iAt each stage you will be prompted to answer one or more questions. All answers at each stage will be entered as a group with a space between. Numeric answers will be entered as numbers and word answers will be entered beginning with a capital letter. If more than one word is required there will be a number telling you how many words are required. (EX: 3 2008 Jets)

When you complete the answer segment at each stage you will see a "Congratulations" screen pop up automatically. The Bonus Cache clue will be viewable on the Journal page for each stage along with the Coordinate template. N 26 22.CDA W 98 49.BCE A checker is not required as you will be given the missing numbers as you visit each stage of the Adventure Lab. Like all Geocaches, please remember to use stealth and be aware of and respectful to your surroundings at all times.

Due to the current Corona Virus Pandemic restrictions, the Rio Grande City's Bessie III Trolly Tour is currently closed. If you're lucky enough to visit the city in better times, I encourage you to consider taking this tour to get more information about the colorful history of Rio Grande City, Texas and visit more of the historic sites. Permission and assistance with this Bonus Cache and the Adventure Lab are courtesy of Ms. Sarah M Hernandez, Director of Tourism for Rio Grande, City, Texas.
