Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. This cache is placed in honor of the 2,977 innocent souls who were killed in the attacks of September 11, 2001. I thought the timing was appropriate as new, "third" towers are rising in both Beaver Dam and NYC.

Find the latitude coordinate of the South Tower and honor it first because it stood for less than one hour. Then find the longitude coordinate from its twin, the North Tower. Go to this location and then proceed away from the North Tower as many did after the first attack. Twenty NYFD captains perished in the collapses - walk to the nearby memorial for another fallen captain (not winter friendly). Now proceed directly away from the South Tower because when it was hit everyone was aware that terrorism had reached the USA. Proceed 165 paces to remember the number of people killed at the Pentagon and Shanksville, PA. If you are standing in the correct location, by George, the cache will be within reach.
