The cache originally was a small container with a log sheet and some coins I have picked up on my travels around the world. It is now a micro with no swag. This is a simple cache if you read the information. All of the clues are within 100m of the starting point. Actual Cache is located at N AB CD.EFG W 0HI JK.LMN 1.

I have wanted to place a cache close to this battle ground for a while but it only has limited access. This spot is open all year round. Be kind to the site, there is no need or reason to touch the wall now: 3-20-22. 7-1-25 The large battle signs have been changed. Needed information can be found at the following webpages: https://stonesentinels.com/less-known/battles-of-kernstown/ https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=122175 https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=2633 Thanks to hrothroc for the information and links. THE CACHE IS NOT IN THE BIRDHOUSE!!!!! (that used to be here) It seems an old cache has fooled some and I don't have the heart to reject their finds. Good Luck. Congrats to KG8GN on the FTF. Sorry you didnt get closer to start. Congrats to CCrew for the find within the first 24hrs. of posting
