This multi-stage cache will take you to most of the historical
markers in Ouachita Parish, LA. You will use information that
is located on or nearby each sign to get the coordinates for the
next marker. Once you get to the last marker (Location 6) you
will gather the information to find the cache, which is an ammo
can.
You will pass by other area caches in your quest to find this one
(One within fifty feet). I would recommend doing a “All
Nearby Caches” search so you can see if you want to attempt some of
these other ones while doing this one.
I put these in the best geographical order that I could in order to
keep you from covering the same ground twice. The final
marker is further away than any of the others. This is the only
clue I’m giving also.
I am giving all the credit to Haygood39180, whose “Tour Vicksburg”
(GCHZBB) cache I muggled this idea from. I recommend this one
to everybody in the Vicksburg, MS vicinity.
