Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Glendale, KY and is a two part type with the final stash in a medium size container. THE LETTERBOX STAMP & INK PAD IS NOT A TRADE ITEM - PLEASE DO NOT TAKE. The first set of coordinates will get you started and the rest is up to your ability to decipher clues. Bring your Letterbox Stamp to leave your mark.

As a private in the Virginia Militia from 1776-1780, Warren Cash participated in the Revolutionary War. He was at the battles of Brandywine and Monmouth along with several other skirmishes and was with George Washington at Valley Forge. He married Susannah Baskett, who taught him how to read. He became a minister and moved to Hardin County. One of the churches he organized in 1824 is the one you will be visiting to gather some of the clue information. Both he and his wife are buried here.

There is a particular display that you will read to gather clues from. This display has lines of noteworthy information on it. Line one is the Cash name.

A = Line eleven third word – spell a number out of this word (only need three letters)

B = Line five second word – how many letters are in this word

C = Line three fifth word - how many letters are in this word

D = Year Warren Cash was born minus 1652

E = Year that Cash moved to Hardin County

Check Sum of A+B+C+D+E = 1921

A Keyword that you will need to Decrypt is Tencrivar

Now drive to the downtown section of Glendale. You go N on county road 1136 and when you come to the stop sign TR as this will take you to downtown Glendale. You do not have to go far, be looking for S. Bell Avenue, and TR when you see it. You can park at the Windstream Telephone building on your left. Walk South on S. Bell Avenue until you see the business that has the Keyword in their name. When you see the Keyword you are getting very close to a mailbox Pole on your left that has the "ABC" number on it. Get on the sidewalk staying perpendicular with your mailbox and walk "D" paces (normal steps) in the North direction, cache will be on your left. No need to step off the sidewalk more than 2 steps. You will soon learn why you need the "E" number.

Please use as much stealth as necessary during busy shopping days. Initial cache contents: small flashlight, pencils/ruler pack, carabiner, star ring, golf tees, KY quarter, buckeye, polished agate, logbook and pencil. Cache is on private property and placed with permission. Be gentle to the plants.
