Geocache Description:

This will take you on a tour of 3 various coal mining locations. It
is meant to be driven not really hiked. Mainly just wanted to get
people to see some amazing landmarks and where a lot of our
families are from. This is a very easy cache to find. You just have
to make sure you visit all 3 and FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS to the "T"!!!
And look for hints in what I say!! Good one to bring the kids
along.

This Multi-cache will consist of three cache's. When you find the first loaction you will have to do a little riddle to get your next location. At your second location you will have to search for your clue to your last location and finally the cache. Now lets talk about the caches themselves: Cache #1: I have given the location of
this cache. The trick is there is two list of names on the
memorial. Using the left hand side list of names you will need to use the last names of the two first people. The Last name of the first person will be your North and the last name of the second person will be your West. I will give what letters mean what number down below for the next location.
Cache #2: This will be a little difficult if you are not from the area. All I will tell you is to "follow the signs to the village". There will be a rock with a
white spot painted on it. Turn over the rock to show the final location. Sorry about the paint job but ran out of options.
Cache #3: This is your final cache and the location of the Ammo Box. This will also be difficult if you are not from the area. The GPS will point you in the right direction though. Now for a little history on the first cache.!!!! (Remember listen for hints to the location
of cache #1) "Here on September 10, 1897 nearly 400 immigrant coal miners on strike were met and fired upon by Sheriff's Deputies. Unarmed, they were marching from Harwood to Lattimer in support of higher wages and more equitable working conditions. Nineteen of the marchers were killed, and 38 were wounded. This is one of the most
serious acts of violence in American Labor History." Now here is how you will solve the name game. Using the last name of the two men listed (remember last name ONLY.) As I said the first mans name will be North and the second mans name will be West. You will have to go there to be able to descramble and spell the names. Hence giving you the Lat and Long.
Name number one:
O = 9
Z = Degrees
B = N
R = 4
T = 5
S = 7
K = 2
I = 6
W = .
O = 0
Help: N40'5*.***
In the Help this is ' = Degree
Name Number Two:
C = W
Z = 1
H = 0
R = 7
S= 5
E = Degree
S = 3
E = .
K = 3
I = 9
Z = 5
Help: W075'51.*3*
In the Help this is ' = Degree

I gave you as much help as I can. I even threw in double letters to make it a little more easier!!! In the cache I have included a piece of original coal that has been
dated. Please be careful with this if you remove it. Coal crumbles very easily. The cache is a Ammo Box. I will include some extra baggies to place your items in. Well there it is!!! Now happy hunting. It isn't hard will just take some time to figure out. If you need help email me and I will give you more clues.

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[Hope you have some success... Let me know what you think. Too hard. Too difficult. Just remember I threw some hints in. It is all within 6-10 miles of each other. In the Name game if you enter a location and it is telling you that you are more then 6 miles away then try doing it again.] [Now this is a spoiler to the final Cache Just incase you get lost] Gur svany pnpur vf jurer na nppvqrag unccrarq znal lrnef ntb gung whfg erpragyl unccrarq ntnva ol Cvggfohet, Cn?
