You will be required to visit several historical locations in
Vicksburg, MS. I've arranged them in a logical geographic order. At
each location, you will gather information which you will use to
derive the coordinates for the next location. At the final
destination (Location 6) you will find the cache, which is a camo
waterproof match holder.
There are other caches in the area you can go for while you're
working on this one...do a "All
Nearby Caches" search to see what's available.
You can visit each location in sequence and be done in less than
30 minutes.
