Geocache Description:


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!

The regimental band of the Corps of Cadets, the “Highty Tighties”, was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation by which president below?  The First Lady, his wife, pinned the corresponding shoulder cord backwards onto the commanding officer of Band Company.  Not wishing to embarrass the First Lady, the CO left the cord on as it was pinned, and the Highty Tighties have intentionally worn the citation cord backwards ever since.
