This cache was originally conceived of as a simple puzzle based on
trivia questions to be named Very Trivial. But, with the recent
inauguration of our 44th President and the President’s Day holiday
coming up soon, I’ve decided to focus on presidential trivia. And
there’s a lot of it out there.
For example:
Only one president never married and died a batchelor.
There have been two presidents whose fathers also served as
president.
Three past presidents died on the 4th of July.
There have been four presidents assassinated while in
office.
Only five presidents wore beards while in office.
There are six presidents portrayed on U.S. coins.
Seven of our presidents were born in Ohio.
There have been eight left handed presidents
OK, you get the idea. Now it’s your turn. Solve for the needed
coordinates by finding the numerical answers to these
questions:
A. How many presidents were sitting U.S. Senators at the time of
their election?
B. How many presidents never attended college?
C. How many presidents signed the U.S. Constition?
D. How many former presidents are buried in Arlington National
Cemetery?
E. How many presidents died in office?
F. How many presidential candidates won the popular vote but not
the election?
G. How many presidents are portrayed on U.S. paper currency?

The cache is a small Ziplock food storage container with camo
tape. All initial trade items are presidential so try to bring
something to swap that's along that theme.
If you come at just the right time, you may be able to hear the
president of one of our local institutions practicing on his
washboard. There is no need to venture onto the property of the
presidential residence.
