Geocache Description:

THE LISTED COORDINATES ARE BOGUS - DO NOT GO THERE! However, they will make a nice place to park when you do go to find the actual cache.

After thinking about the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War that started on April 12th 1861 with the battle of Fort Sumter I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a "Walk Through History Cache". Remember all of those dates that you memorized in school. Well - you did need them after all.
