Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it is very close by. Read the description below.

A WW II Beech AT-11 bomber trainer crashed at this location in Trumbull in 1944 during an air raid practice under poor weather conditions. Sadly two aviators perished in the crash and they have been memorialized with a monument at the posted coordinates. The cache is hidden near the monument. You can determine the exact cache location by observing the names of the airmen inscribed on the monument and using the coordinates associated with their names below. You are looking for a camoed match container.
