Korean War Memorial Cache Mystery Cache

Back in October 2006 we were introduced by a family member to geocaching. This person showed us some of the caches we had around and we remember something was in this area. By the time we started geocaching it was already disabled. We searched the archived cache and made sure this one wasn’t in the same spot. It is close but not much. We think this is a beautiful spot that can’t be left behind.

The Forgotten War

Korea: June 25, 1950 - July 27, 1953

One and one half million Americans served in Korea; 129,000 were from Massachusetts.

Final Coordinates are:
