>
> NW of Prescott, there is "Skull Valley and Beyond", "Fox Cache" "DO
> Over Cache"....all short hikes and nice areas.

> 305" (no hike). Also out Copper Basin Rd there is my "Barnes and Nobel
> it ain't" (book exchange....it's full I hear). Two of Seven starts

> that Glitters Isn't" which is a nice short hike around a lake.

> In town, there is a tricky little micro "Don't Forget the S", plus a
> couple virtuals downtown "Residency of Nobels" and "Dedication". Also,
> "Acker Park" is nearby. If you want to spend some time you can do my
> puzzle cache "P4" which includes and in-town micro "Aid Station
> Cache". The kids might enjoy finding the clues but it will take you at
> least an hour.
>
> Off Walker Rd you can visit Lynx Lake and nab "Five of Seven" (VC),
> and nearby is "Lynx Lake" short but beautiful hike, watch for snakes.
>
> On your way in our out, be sure to pick up a couple easy urban-style
> ones, my "Gateway Dash 01-02-03 Cache" and in Prescott Valley, "Visit
> the Roundabout" and "PV TWin Lakes".
>
> As far as stuff to do, There is Castle Golf between Prescott Valley
> and Prescott, off Hwy 69...miniture golf, indy cars, video games etc.
> The Harkins Theatres are in Prescott Valley also.

> Hope that helps and the server is up in time for you to look up these
