In our travels as geocachers, we often come across the unexpected. Stage 1 of the geocache is one of those things - a memorial to some of our fallen heroes who answered the call of duty during the Global War on Terrorism. Take some time to honor these men and women.
To get your final coordinates, take some time to honor these men (and women), then do a little math, as follows:
A = sum of the ages at death of all the servicemen on the memorial.
B = number of servicemen etched on the memorial.
C = number of panels listing servicemen on the memorial.
D = number of panels at this memorial.
A+B+((C*D)*2) = the number you’ll add to posted North decimal minutes.
Now find the nearby marker for a single person. From the day of his death, subtract 1 and add the result to the posted West decimal minutes.
