Geocache Description:

Alright there true believers, today we are on a search for the strongest symbol of our past and future the "Stone." The nickname "Gardens of Stone" is a movie set in the Vietnam era, and it relates to the numerous tombstones in Arlington National Cemetary. We are going on a search for other stones around town. Once you arrive at the first coordinates look for the following clues:

Clue #1: Find the stones that lay in a half circle with the great military units of today and yesterday. Number of stones -18 = 4X (Forty something)

Clue #2 pillars of stone with jumpers falling between. Number of pillars – 15 = Y

35 03.XY6
078 53.2X0

Alright, now you should be at Stage 2. You are doing great so far. Now you are among more stones. Use the following clues to get the next coordinates:

The chapter # of Rolling Thunder who helped make this park possible: The Chapter # =X

The number of KIA + WIA + POW + 3,359,317= your north coordinate
