Geocache Description:

History is the study of the past, particularly the written record and oral traditions passed down from generation to generation verbally. New technology, such as photography, sound recording, and motion pictures now complement the written word in the historical record. History is a field of research producing a continuous narrative and a systematic analysis of past events of importance to the human race.

This is a reverse multi which the coords will lead you to the cache but then I ask you to complete the second half of the cache to get a better feel of this history lesson. You are not required to complete the second of this cache for full credit but it would be nice.

Sign the cache and then head to the historic marker.

Take a picture with you and your gps with the markers in the background and then answer these three questions:



1.) Who are these makers talking about

2.) What year or years appear on these markers?

3.) What is the impact of the local history you just learn to this area?
