I had a hard time securing permission to place a physical cache in this park so I went with a Virtual/Multi hybrid, placing the physical final off site. That in mind I made the first stage really, really easy. Read the sign at this location, answer the questions and substitute the letters for the numbers.

PH07 (launch site) Richboro_One of thirteen former Nike bases that ringed the Philadelphia / Southern New Jersey area. It was placed into service in 1956 with two type B magazines, 20 Ajax missiles, and 8 A type launchers. The base was never upgraded to the Hercules missile and it was decommissioned in 1961 along with six other PH sites. The signing of the SALT treaty in the early 1970's resulted in the decommissioning of all US Nike bases.
