Trivial Pursuit for Citrus
The above coordinates are not the final cache location. The
final coordinates are N3a* bc.def W11g* hi.jkl. To obtain the
correct coordinates, you will need to answer the following
true/false questions. The final coordinates will lead you to a
dedication plaque near a citrus tree within Arizona. To receive
credit for this cache, e-mail us the information on the plaque.
