Three weeks after the bloody stalemate at Prairie Grove, Union and Confederate forces battled again in Arkansas, this time for control of the Arkansas River city of VanBuren. Fought on December 28, 1862, the Battle of Van Buren was the last outburst of the Prairie Grove Campaign. After a few brief skirmishes, the Confederate cavalry and their Union pursuers topped Logtown Hill on the northern edge of Van Buren and thundered down the main road into town. Their arrival in the community happened so quickly that the people of the town were caught completely by surprise.
You will need to download the Wherigo cartridge Battle of Van Buren v.2 to find and log this smiley. It should take you less than an hour and will take you to key points along this battle. The next to final location you will need to answer a question in order to get the coordinates for the physical geocache. Make sure to write these coordinates down. You will also receive a code you can use to log it on the wherigo site. I hope you enjoy this Wherigo. Sometimes while playing you may run into a glitch that says "Inside Zone" but doesn't give you an action. Try going outside the zone and coming back in or quitting and resuming the cartrdige. I've had this happen before on other Wherigo's and it is just GPS or service being slow.This was tested on an iPhone before publishing and was created using the Wherigo\\kit.
*******CONGRATS to JFFOK on FTF!!!!*******
