Geocache Description:

Wow! I really had to think creatively to come up with a hide here but I think I've done it. This cache will challenge even the experienced. Remember you are in a very public place, so when you know where it is – take your time. To claim credit for the cache sign the log and answer: How many miles in how many days?

In 1775, General George Washingon issued a call for "Virginia Volunteer Riflemen." Captain Hugh Stephenson filled the ranks of his company in Shepherdstown and it has been heralded as the first unit of the United States Army. It departed from "Morgan's Spring," about one-half mile south of the town limits on July 16, 1775. This famous "Beeline March to Cambridge" covered ??? miles in ?? days. Thirty-eight Revolutionary veterans are buried here.
