.The Challenge: You must have found at least 40 Unknown/Mystery caches in three states to meet this challenge.
The cache is at the posted coordinates.
Mystery caches are also known as puzzle or unknown caches. They require a cacher to gather information before or after arriving at the posted coordinates.
- Puzzle cache: A cacher must gather information from the internet or their own knowledge to solve a puzzle. Online or cutout jigsaw puzzles, ciphers, and others are examples of puzzles.
- Night cache: This type is designed to be found at night. They are difficult or impossible to find during the day. Typically, geocachers use a flashlight or UV light to follow a series of reflectors to the final location. Night caches may also be designated as multicaches.
- Beacon cache: A beacon is a device that transmits a wireless message, which can be used to find a geocache.
- Challenge cache: A cacher needs to meet certain requirements to log as a find. For example, a cacher must have found X amount of Mystery caches in 3 States or have found X amount of caches with a certain icon.
- Bonus cache: A bonus cache is a Mystery Cache for which you have to find clues in other caches. Sometimes the coordinates for the bonus cache are in one other cache. In other cases, you gather clues for the final coordinates of the bonus cache from multiple other caches. Clues for a bonus cache can be hidden in any other cache type.
The cache type is denoted with a blue question mark..

The Morgan Ranch Nature Park
The nature park preserves a portion of the historic Morgan Cooper Ranch for the purpose of enjoying the natural beauty of Williamson Valley. The one-mile Cooper-Morgan loop trail winds across boulders and through oak, manzanita, and juniper trees. Birdhouses encourage a variety of native birds to nest along the Bluebird Trail. A picnic table and teak benches provide sitting areas for picnics, nature observation, and relaxation. MRNP's rugged trail is non-motorized which makes it perfect for hiking, bike riding, and walking dogs on a leash. It connects Yavapai System trails from Inscription Canyon to the east of Talking Rock Ranch. A little library, built by Dennis Morin, provides books to take or trade. County parks are open from dawn to dusk.
WVRd Series Co-Cache Owners: LKLopez, Kathy and Larry Lopez founded and maintain the park; Stuckin4th, Jean Morin, is a MRPAI Board Member
