Geocache Description:

Information on historical marker leads you to the final


At the posted coordinates, you will find a historical marker about a prominent person that made their home in Versailles. Using the information on the marker, you can then determine the final coordinates and get that smiley.

N 38° 02.ABC W 084° 39.XYZ

  • One side of the sign about a single person. A is the last digit of the year he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy.
  • The date of his death is also on the sign. Take the last two digits of this date and add 1 and that is BC.
  • He was awarded the Legion of Merit with X Gold Stars.
  • He served in two wars. Take the the last 2 digits of the second war he fought in and add the number of notable ancesters listed on the other side of the sign. This makes YZ.

Checksum of A + B + C + X + Y + Z = 35.

Final is  a bison tube with log only. As always, bring your own writing instrument.
