Geocache Description:

This Cache will be helping you learn about a cool piece of history here in Lincoln, a very historic hotel.


The cache was placed with permission from the buisiness. Please respect the buisiness and landscaping during your search. The coordinates the cache takes you to first commemorates the initial use of the land. This site was first home to two churches, this plaque is for one of them. The First Congregational Church. Here you will gather your first piece of information required to gain access to the cache. What is the year the church was founded?

A = The year the church was organized

The current use of the land stands in front of you at the GZ, this is the second incarnation of the building. The first version of this historic hotel was demolished in 1982 to make way for the current incarnation of this hotel which stands before you now.

Now head to the Final coordinates in your Waypoints and use the information from the first stage to open the cache container. Please be kind to the landscaping and return as you found it. The cache "leash" should help you locate it!

Bonus task: [UPDATE: 4/15/18 as a result of the recent MOGA Mega event held here 4/13/18 - 4/14/18 the coin supply has been exhausted with no plans to reorder. Thank you to the Hotel, i still encourage you to check out the property!] Complete the mission on the passport game card located in the final cache container to receive a reward! Please post a "Needs maintenance" if the game card stock gets below 5 so I restock for future players!
