You are seeking a short two stage multi cache that begins at the grave marker for Joseph J. Barnett, a Veteran of the Spanish American War.
Barnett served as a Sergeant in the 23rd Infantry. His unit was called upon to participate in Admiral Dewey's attack on Manila. After the defeat of the Spanish the unit sailed to the Philippine Islands to deal with the rapid deterioration of Philippine American relations. During the ensuing native revolt, experience gained by the Regiment in the Indian Wars proved invaluable in suppressing the insurrection of the Philippine guerillas.
The Regiment returned home after the Philippines Campaign via the Suez Canal and the straits of Gibraltar, becoming the first United States Army regiment to circumnavigate the globe.
To locate the final, gather information from the grave marker of Joseph Barnett.
