Garden of Honor Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

Placed with permission of the parks department.



This is my first attempt at a puzzle cache.  When you visit the Garden of Honor, look around at the many plaques. You will need information from these to find the location of the cache.  This is a very peaceful place and deserving of respect.  My father served in the Air Force and this cache is a way to honor his service.

I have changed the type of hide as this has gone missing too many times the way it was. The clues below reflect the new hide.

The end coordinates are N039 57.ABC and W075 35.DEF.

A = The number of branches in the Garden of Honor + 3

B= The number in the ones place in the post that donated a bench.

C = The number in the tens place of the Vietnam Veterans Chester County chapter

D = The number in the tens place in the year the area was dedicated to the WC Area

E = The year in the tens of when McCormick was declared KIA in World War II

F = The number in the name of the branch of service shown with roman numerals -1

Congrats to Mrs. Hoagie for first to find.
