    help with the clues
  • Parking is challenging in certain spots, be prepared to walk a couple of blocks
  • Taking a bike is a great way to get to each point, it is roughly a 7-mile round trip on the bike from first location, through the hunt, and then back to the first location.
  • If  you have trouble entering the answer in google forms, make sure to check your spelling and look at the tips for how to write it on the google form
  • HINT -Keep a lookout for historical markers on boulders, signs, and plaques!

Helpful Information: 

  • If you are biking, be sure to change your Google Maps directions to biking rather than driving to give you the best route.
  • In some cases, the directions do not take you to the exact location – you may need to walk around the park or area to find the historical marker.
  • When entering the answer, misspellings or missing words will mark the question wrong – Watch for tips about specific ways to answer questions.
