The cache is NOT located at the listed coordinates, but this location does contain some interesting information about the subject matter of this puzzle cache. On the same night as Paul Revere’s famous ride, a second rider set out from Charlestown north through the towns of Medford, Woburn, Winchester and Wilmington spreading the alarm to military and political leaders in each town. Arriving in Tewksbury at 2AM on April 19th 1775, he notified Captain John Trull, the head of Tewksbury’s militia. Captain Trull spread the alarm north of the Merrimack River by firing three shots from his bedroom window in a prearranged signal with the Dracut militia. Captain Trull then led his local militia group 20 miles southwest, arriving at Meriam’s Corner in Lexington later that day. In order to solve this puzzle, find the commemorative plaque that was placed at the direction of a grateful descendant near Captain Trull's one-time family homestead. The plaque is located at a distance of 93,600 inches from the cache, and at a bearing of 276.77 degrees from true North. Congratulations for technician1960 for being FTF....only hours before capybaron and chasandmeg.
