Another cache for Veteran's Park, this cache will take a little research. It is not located at the coordinates listed. You will need to answer a few questions in order to get the digits. There is a link provided but, you may want to look elsewhere too. While Geocaching is great for getting out doors, I love how it can combine education as well. You will learn while doing this cache.
