Geocache Description:

This cache was placed on 9/11 to commemorate one of the most significant days in American history. There are numerous patriotic items in this cache. As you are hunting for this cache, take a moment to think about what America means to you.  We shall never forget.

This is a nice flat hike or an easy Mountain Bike ride along the "North Shore Lake Hodges Trail". Catch the trailhead at the end of Sunset Drive. The trail runs through a beautiful valley where Lake Hodges meanders when it is full. The coordinates for this cache take you to the first clue. There are a total of 3 clues that must be discovered before you can find the cache.

1. You should be able to find Clue #1 without too much trouble.

2. Clue #2 is a little more tricky.  You will need the following information for Clue #2:

Use the last 3 digits of the S/N on the first block to calculate the coordinates as follows:

Let's call the last three digits X

Latitude = N 33 03.(543 + X)
Longitude = W 117 04.(683 - X)

3. Clue #3 will take you to the cache.

Note:  If you find yourself bush whacking, look for another way to get to the cache site.

This cache is in an ammo can.  As mentioned earlier, there are also numerous patriotic items to find here.  Feel free to place your own patriotic items in the cache.

Note:  You will find one of the clues for my Coolswag @ View Junction cache in the ammo box.

Happy Geocaching
