Magical Mystery Cache

I am trying to get a bit more exercise.  Thought doing a multi-cache would be a good idea as they involve multiple stops.  Picked a doozy for my first one.  All the stops were a good mile apart so I had to drive.  I think it was designed for bike riders.

Also, I managed to get the wrong answer to 2 of the questions and had to contact the previous finder for a hint.  Boo.

My "get a little exercise" cache turned into a long drive and multi-day adventure. 


Magical Mystery Cache -GC143C

First location - Neely Historical House.
I needed to find the year built.  I got 1885, which is what it says on the sign, and on the website when I Googled it to make sure I wasn't insane. Apparently the answer was 1884.







2nd location - Green River Natural Resource Area

My 2nd wrong answer was here.  How many steps do you see on the top set?  5 steps right?  Apparently the answer is 6.  I have yet to meet anyone else who counts the landing you start on as a step, but there you have it!



3rd location - Van Doren Landing Park


4th location - Monument base





Final -

The final took 2 attempts.  I dug around and didn't find anything on my first attempt.  After rereading all the logs, and hints and things, I tried again.  Determined to find it, I dug around in the dirt for almost 15 minutes.  Recent weed whacking had dislodged and buried it neaby.  After all that, the log was wet and frozen so I couldn't even sign it!
