This is a quick guide to Northern Virginia History
I am always amazed at all of the history in Northern Virginia. While a lot of it is specific to the US Civil War, this cache identifies a couple of historic areas spanning over 300 years of history. The first location contains 4 easy signs to read. Capture ALL of the years on ALL 4 signs. Add these dates up (e.g. 1941+1971+2003=5915). Take the TOTAL of ALL the dates and plug it into both parts of the formula below. The resulting answer then plugs into the spaces in the coordinates.
=(Total Years - 7904)
N 39 0_._ _ _
=(Total Years)2+8150
W 077 _ _ . _ _ _
To Claim this cache, read the historical sign at the new location - what is the General Electric # of the vehicle on the sign? Email the cache owner the information in an email, do not include in logs (even encrypted)
NOTE: These locations are near high traffic areas and child hand holding and watching is recommended. A car or bicycle is desirable to get between the two locations. Stages are not near active railroad tracks.
