****Note: Physical Cache is not at posted coordinates****
Was fortunate to spend a gorgeous Sunday in New Buffalo, and was able to pick up some finds and even managed to make a couple of hides. This hide requires you read the sad history of the removal and relocation of indigenous peoples from this beautiful area. Please read the marker placed near the corner of Oselka and Whitaker Streets. [If you are on your way to the public beach, you will pass right by it] Use the information located there to find the physical cache at it's final location - as well as your knowledge of 5th grade mathematics!. As always, bring your own pen, be VERY CAREFUL - [the final location is not a place for young children to be running around without supervision], be respectful, watch for muggles, and HAVE FUN! ***Congratulations MaxBOnTheRiver for FTF!!**** Peace, ___Marie0317
