Geocache Description:

A quick and easy multi, just two miles off I55. Both stages of the cache are handicapped accessible if you can handle level turf. There is paved parking, without curbs, just off the first stage area. Total distance is under .25 miles and should take well under an hour to complete.

The cache is NOT at the coordinates above. These will take you to the first stage, where you will find a memorial to Army National Guard soldiers of Charlie Company, 1140th Engineer Battalion. Use the names of the soldiers to find the final stage of this cache. The final is a micro containing a log and pencil

Final Stage Coordinates: N36 53.ABC W089 33.DEF

Count, starting with the first soldiers name as 1, to find the 1st, 70th, 68th, 30th and 16th names. Using the first letter of the soldier's name on the given line; a=1 b=2 c=3 d=4 e=5 f=6 g=7 h=8 i=9 j=10 k=11 l=12 m=13 n=14 o=15 p=16 q=17 r=18 s=19 t=20 u=21 v=22 w=23 x=24 y=25 z=26

A - 1st name
BC - 70th name (this will be a two digit answer)
D - 68th name
E - 30th name
F - 16th name

Located off Hwy 62/Malone, near the airport, Veteran's Park is a 4.8 acre park, dedicated to area veterans. Kids of all ages should get a kick out of the M-60A Battle Tank, an F4 Phantom Jet Fighter, a M101A1, 105mm Light Howitzer from WWII, a U.S. Navy 1955 Sioux Helicopter, and the 6,000 pound anchor from a WWII destroyer. There are several nice shade trees and two picnic shelters in the area of the first stage of the cache.
