Geocache Description:

I'm a bit of a Civil War buff, so I thought that I would set out a cache which used dates from the war to locate the cache.  So, fire up your favorite search engine and research some of the battles and occurrences to get the coordinates.


The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates.  To get the coordinates, find the numbers from the clues below.
The cache is located at: N37 22.ABC, W119 43.DEF where:
A=Battle of Boonsboro, Sept. 1A, 1862
B=Stonewall Jackson was a victim of friendly fire when mistakenly shot by his own troops on May B, 1863
C=Second Battle Kernstown, July 2C, 1863
D=Battle of Philippi, June D, 1861
E=Battle of Gaines' Mill, June 2E, 1862
F=Battle of Yellow Bayou, May 1F, 1864
