Geocache Description:

As the Anniversay of September 11th is upon us, we felt that a tribute to the past was in order.
We hope you will pause in your quest to appreciate the ultimate sacrifice given by everyone
throughout the history of Charleston and the United States of America.

A five stage virtual multicache. You will need the following:
    1- “The Best Little Map of Charleston” Navigator Maps 1998 edition
    2- A pen and paper
    3- Change for parking meters.
    4- Ruler
We found this particular map at Books a Million in W. Ashley. ($4.25)
You need not pay admission to any of these places. The answers are all outside in plain site. Instructions:

Use the quotes to figure out your next coordinates then 
plot your approximate spot on the map.

Hint- A peacetime tragedy

Find the coordinates of the tragedy given at the monument.  
Use the following key to decipher the 3rd set of coordinates.

Long =  _   _ °    _   _
        A   A      B   C

Lat  =  _   _      _   _ 
        A   D      D   B

Mark your current position on the map, then draw a line
 from there to the first one.  Go to the next spot.	

32   _ 6.  _ 99 N
     A     C

079  _ _.  63_		
     C C     D

We’re looking for the most significant date
 
historically at this location.

A    B   C    D   E   F  F		       

Now take the map and mark your spot ONE block South of 
where you are now, then go to the next spot.

4th What does it say on the front of the statue of this great
Patriot?
Email us the answer; please don’t put it on this site.

Now mark a line from this spot to the 3rd on your map.
You should have an “X” If not try again!

The final cache site is in the middle of the X and keeps
with the theme of all the others.

Final Questions:

    Who was the statue of at spot 4 and what did it say on the front?
    What does “GR” stand for on the cannons?
    What year is shown on the map on the fence?
