Cache is not at posted coordinates. The caches in this series all contain questions related to the history of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. All the information needed to answer the questions in this 21-cache series can be found by going to the corps Guidon.
Six of the Medal of Honor caches (seven total) all contain hints to help you find a 21st cache. You need to complete those first before going after the final one in the series. All containers in the series, except for the final, are small homemade bisons constructed out of PVC with soda bottle tops. They are painted in such a way as to be VT appropriate.
Best of luck! Contact cacheNquilt or myself directly with questions. Take care, and best of luck!

Virginia Tech is home to seven alumni that have earned the nation’s highest honor, the Congressional Medal of Honor. This number is second only to the U.S. Military service academies. On six of these caches, when found, you will also find a letter/number combination that will fill in a part of the puzzle to the final VT cache in the series. That cache’s coordinates are:
37 03.ABC
37 24.DEF
