The Prairies of Pella Multi-cache
Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

This is a 6 step multi-cache. The first coordinates are the coordinates of the first step. To find out coordinates to the rest of the stops along the way, you will have to answer questions and plug the numbers into the blanks. You can park somewhere near the first coordinates and probably walk through the first three stages, if you want to take in the town :)
The cache is a regular sized rubbermaid container. It includes the following items: a large bouncy ball, sidewalk chalk, a chip clip, rubber fishing worms, and a set of allen wrenches. Please log your find in the book and online :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
