Geocache Description:

Ah, the Past!  It will catch you someday.  Ask any of the residents in the plots around you.  They know, but why don't they speak louder???

To find this micro, you need to get your questions answered from the locals:

Visit #1, Find the site that has recorded canine footprints over its resident.  The resident's first and last name could have served the dog well as a name.  Find the three digit number recording this Private's Engineer unit.  Call the first digit of this engineer unit A.

Visit #2, Find Freddie.  He is the only one with a full stainless steel cover.  Though a bit damaged, find the four digit birth year.  Call the second digit of that birth year B.

Visit #3, Find Frank.  He is a member of the Methodist Clergy.  His birth year is four digits.  Call the last digit of his birth year C.

Visit #4, Find Big Tex.  He lived a long 74 years, but you are looking for the four digit year of his death.  Call the last digit of his passing D.

You should be pretty familiar with this small "plot" of land in Sandfly, now it is time to find the cache.  The final coordinates are:

N 31* A8.B1B'
W 081* C4.2CD'

Please be respectful of this site as you wander.  Do not hunt at night.

Good luck and enjoy your hunt through the Past!
