Cache Description

This is a 4 stage mystery cache.  You must visit each stage posted in the additional waypoint section below.  At each stage you will gather a part of the 4 digit combination that unlocks the ammo can that is placed at the posted coordinates (inside the office).

Stage 1. The spring was one of the features that made this area so attractive for Camp Lawton. What century was this area chosen to be a Civil War camp? The second digit = 'A'.

Stage 2. How many tablespoons of rice was included in a daily ration? Multiply this number by 2 = 'B'.

Stage 3. What is the last digit of the year in which Thomas P. 'Boston' Corbett disappeared? This number = 'C'.

Stage 4. Camp Lawton was built to house how many prisoners? Take the first digit(starting from the left) and divide it by two. This number = 'D'.

The code to unlock the lock on the Geocache is 'ABCD'.
