Geocache Description:


NorthwesterCross

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Solve the following puzzle to learn the true cache location.

 

A Pacific Northwest crossword puzzle!  The questions focus on Oregon and Washington.  I'm expecting this to be fairly easy for long-time PNWern geocachers.  Hopefully, it will be educational as well as fun.

 

In your log, please feel free to mention how many you knew without doing any research!

 

This is an online crossword using the CrossCache utility, authored by computer science professor lesdubois and written specifically for geocaching puzzles.
