I have fancied putting togehter a geo art for a while now & being as the old series is a bit tired, had a chat with USAndy to do this re-run. This is a one of a series of 50 puzzle caches that will take you around the town of Thornbury. All puzzles are so easy to solve we have made the D rating a 1 on most, as the hides are easy to find as well.
All the caches are to do with the USA and will give you info on all the states.
To help you navigate the public footways around this area, the Explorer 167 map will be helpful.
The whole walk in one go will be no less than 12 miles, depending on other caches you can grab on the way round. There is a bonus cache as before.
Please see number 1 USA Mega series re-run #1; Alabama for car parking, if you need it.
