In 1990 the Huffman Prairie Flying Field site was designated a
National Historic Landmark. This National Park is located in area C
of Wright-Patterson AFB. This site is one of the four sites which
together form the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical
Park.
Stage 1 of this multi is located at the posted coordinates on
the page. You will need to vist the listed coordinates for Stages
1, 2 and 3. At these stages you will gather information needed to
determine the coordiates for the 4th and final stage.
Coordinates for Stage 4 will be in the form:
North AB° CD.EFD West GDC° GH.AHI
Stage 1
In the lower right corner of the historical marker are 4 numbers
in the form: nn ~ nn
A = Second digit
B = Fourth digit
E = First digit
I = Third digit
Stage 2

D = Second digit
Stage 3
How many times did Wilbur go up? Number of trips are in the
form: nn
F = Second digit

I set the difficulity and terrain ratings at 2/2. It's not a
hard multi and could be a 1.5/1.5.
This should be a very fun family cache to work on. You can drive
to stages 1, 2 and 3. Stage 4 is a few miles away. The cache
location is a closed service road leading to a cell phone tower. A
short walk (about 200 feet and will require no real bush whacking).
Have fun.
