History Series Final Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

74vwBus: A lot of time and effort went into placing this geocache. There was a hours in days of research. I enjoyed soaking up all of the local knowledge. This location here is a great resource. This geocache has been removed. And I’m happy to report that the artwork on the outside of the Ken isn’t so bad for 13 months of weather.

Geocache Description:


So, after you've waited over a year for this....Hey! History takes a while to develop! 

HISTORY SERIES FINAL! 

There IS a geocache placed at the posted coordinates. It's a 50 cal ammo can. PLEASE only go after this geocache during daylight hours. Finding the ammo can is very easy! Opening it will take a little work. A little work including finding the following ten geocaches to obtain code words. Those code words can then be punched in the certitude checker linked below. With a correct answer, you will then be given a four digit code that unlocks the 50 cal ammo can. 

A big shout out to the folks at the Blair County Genealogical Society for providing me info and photos for some of the geocaches in the series. And also for giving permission to place the final geocache on their property. Please feel free to stop in and due some more local history reasearch!
