The coordinates listed will bring you to an Historical Marker along Rte. 22. Recommend not attempting to get to the marker between 5am and 9am Monday thru Friday due to the large amount of muggles trying to access Aberdeen Proving Ground’s Rte 22 Gate which is a half mile further down the road. Best time to look for this one is on the weekend or mid to late afternoon.
The marker has text on both sides and they should be identical but just to make sure that we are on the same page, take your information from the side you would see in your review mirror. Answer the following questions using the information you get from the marker to get the final coordinates which are not too far away. The latest imagery from Google Earth/Maps are not as up to date as they should be in assisting you with the final location. You will just have to figure it out, but you do not have to go onto APG (Aberdeen Proving Ground). A - How many hyphens are there? B - How many times is the second letter of the topic acronym mentioned in the fifth line of text? C - How many times is the word ARMY used? D - How many years separate the two dates given? E - How many letters from the topic acronym are mentioned in the third to last line of text? F - How many times are names of States mentioned(minus 3)? G - How many times are acronyms used(plus 2)? H - How many lines of text are there on the marker (divided by 2)? I - How many letters are on the marker(add the three individual numbers that make up the total and divide by 2)? J - How many letters are in the acronym that is the topic of this Historical marker? N 39° AB.CDE W 076° FG.HIJ Now don’t you wish you had a modern version of this marker’s namesake to help you out on this one? The final cache is a bison tube that has been painted black.
