Geocache Description:

Fun, easy puzzle series.

 

This location has a spectacular view, which is why I chose it.  My GPS brought me in off of Chocorua Lake Road and I thought it was nuts, as usual.  Instead I was awarded witha  spectacular view as I came out of the trees near this location.


Welcome to the "This Day in History" series. 

If you're like me, you don't like puzzle caches.  I've avoided them for years and now I am finally starting to attempt a few here and there.  I've decided to do some simple puzzle caches to encourage other people to give them a try as well as add a little challege to those easy, roadside caches.  All of the final locations will be pretty easy to access and are just places I find to place a cache as I am driving around New England.

 

On this day in 19AB, Soviet jet fighters intercept a Korean Airlines passenger flight in Russian airspace and shoot the plane down, killing 269 passengers and crewmembers.


Final location is N 43 54.2AB  W  071 16.301
