This cache is NOT for everyone. Only the die-hard cachers that must have the smiley will endure the challenges to sign the log book. You may need some special equipment to complete your quest but that's up to you to figure out what or if any is needed.
I have included a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th to find prize and placed some swag in the ammo box as well..
Americans celebrate our independence day on July 4th and we associate 1776 as the year. That's when we "declared" our independence but it was approved by the British much later.
This cache will have you review some facts about the Revolutionary way that you may not have known about or have forgotten.
The cache can be located at the following coordinates:
N 41'1A.BCD
W 84' 1E.FGH

B: Even though Thomas Jefferson wrote the declaration of Independence that we adopted, Ben Franklin wrote the first declaration of Independence in what year? (last digit)

D: Paul Revere was famous for his midnight ride. On what day in April did he do this? (2nd digit)
E You may have heard of the Boston tea party. Did you know there was a 2nd one shortly after? What was the date the 2nd one occurred? 3-7-? (last digit)
