Geocache Description:

I noticed this memorial near the hotel where I've been staying and thought that it could use a cache to help bring people to the memorial.


The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but you'll have to go there to get the information to get the coordinates to its hiding spot.

This is a Civil War Monument in New Rochelle. I think it's good to remember the people who fought to protect this country! Go check it out!

The cache can be found at N40 54.XXX W073 47.YYY.

XXX - Starting in the front where they list the dates of the Civil War (1861-1865) and going around the monument counterclockwise (do the right side first, then the back then the left side), what is the order of the words written on each side:

Grant, Lincoln, Sherman, - 503

One Flag, One Country, Union Forever - 418

One Country, One Flag, One Union - 362

Faith, Honor, Loyalty - 339

 

YYY - On the opposite side of the front where it says Civil War (1861 - 1865), what's chiseled into the stone:

Crossed sabers with a calvary hat - 002

Crossed cannon ramrods - 153

An anchor - 058

A bald eagle - 106
