Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Throughout its history, Utah has been home to pioneers–and not just the kind who drive wagons and wear bonnets. From making breakthrough medical advancements to breaking glass ceilings, amazing people have made—and will continue to make—Utah a culturally rich and diverse place to live. Here I have 8 people who have made significant contributions to Utah and America.  Do yourself a favor.  Don't just go find the answer and move on.  Read about what these important people actually did and how they helped us today.

Match the people with what they did. Use the number in parenthesis for your coordinates, not the action number.

I had to move the cache and forgot to update this.
