Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Berks Explorers Seeking Tupperware (aka BEST) Geo-Art series. This series was created to teach Geocacher's about Berks County, and some of it's interesting facts, places, people and heritage. Once all 55 caches are found, your Geo-Art reward will be completed. Although all caches are hidden near the Lake Ontelaunee Reservoir, it is not at these posted coordinates - no swimming is required to obtain any cache in this series *smile*

 

BEST Geo-Art: E09/26


Boyertown, Colebrookdale Township, Berks County, PA


This aviation pioneer was a 1914 graduate of West Point and a pilot in France in World War I. He rose to the rank of brigadier general in 1940 and general in 1945. During World War II he commanded the US 8th Air Force and the US Strategic Air Forces in Europe, facilitating the ground invasion and liberation of Western Europe. He was first Chief of Staff of the newly independent US Air Force, 1947-48. Boyertown was his home.

His name was…

A. Charles Lindbergh (N 40° 28.637 W 075° 55.080)
B. Bodo Otto (N 40° 28.649 W 075° 55.096)
C. Hunter Liggett (N 40° 28.645 W 075° 55.099)
D. Carl A. Spaatz (N 40° 28.643 W 075° 55.088 )



Note: A historical marker was placed on June 27, 1991 at N 40 19.906, W 75 38.498 in his honor.

 

Note:  This cache has the hunting attribute selected. Hunters wear orange, and when the time is right, and so should you. During hunting season, it is best to do this series on a Sunday. The majority of the cache containers are hidden within 10 - 20 feet from the trail. Since these caches are hidden in the woods, you will encounter things like wildlife, poison ivy, bugs, ticks, etc. That is just part of geocaching in the great outdoors. Good Luck.

 

Please note that GC53APJ  - Guess Who was archived to make room for this BEST Geo-Art geocache.  Thanks Rentell.
