Geocache Description:


Cache not at Posted Coordinates!

Answer ths question and certitude will take you to the location(3 digits). What Month(0M) and year(19yr) was Charles Lindbergh the Aviator born. It is a letterbox hybrid so you will see a stamp for your book. Please share your stamp as well! You will also find a lot of room for swag and other things. 

Lindbergh was born in his mother’s hometown of Detroit, but relocated to a new home in Little Falls on the banks of the Mississippi River on a 110-acre farm outside of town. The farm was also home to Charles's two half-sisters (Lilian and Eva) from his father’s first marriage to Mary LaFond.

“He would often spend his days swimming in the river, climbing trees, interacting with the lumberjacks who brought logs down the river and hunting with his father,” according to the Charles Lindbergh House and Museum.

Little Falls’ favorite son saw his first airplane while growing up in the Morrison County city.

“One day I was playing upstairs in our house on the riverbank. The sound of a distant engine drifted in through an open window. … No automobile engine made that noise. ... I ran to the window and climbed out onto the tarry roof. It was an airplane!” he recounted in his book.

You are looking for "Charles Lunchbox" or what we think it may looked like. He was not a great school student, but loved adventure.
