I once did a mystery geocache while on vacation.
Medora, North Dakota was the cache's location.
The mystery geocache in Medora inspired me to try
to make my own mystery geocache, this cache you've come by!
Information for you:
The posted coordinates are not the coordinates for the container's location. The posted coordinates are for stage 1. The coordinates for each stage are visible to you. They will each take you to a specific place in Blair that you have to go visit to get the answers you need. There are six multiple choice questions you have to answer. Each location that you will go to has a sign with information about different places and topics. The questions are about the information on each sign. You will find the right answers by reading the signs. Each answer has a different number. Once you find the right answers for the questions, you can plug the numbers the answers give you into the coordinates for the container location. (Example: The number you get from stage 1 will go into blank 1) Once you're done, feel free to check your answers in the solution checker!
