Geocache Description:

This is a three part multi in Veteran’s Memorial Park in Penfield with an Armed Services theme. The posted co-ords are for parking. Start at the flagpole at the Veteran's Memorial. The second waypoint is a small container holding the co-ords for the third part. The third waypoint is the final cache in a 30 cal. Ammo can marked GEOCACHE.

This cache has a military theme in honor of those who have served in our Armed Forces keeping America safe and free. It is designed for families to enjoy while visiting this lovely park and veteran’s memorial. Bring a picnic and baseball and other sports equipment. Come when there is a concert in the nearby amphitheater. See Veterans Memorial Park Trail Map and Town of Penfield for more information about events in the park and other town information.

Okay, here is your mission: from the given co-ordinants you will need to do a little search and recovery to find the second waypoint. First, find the VFW Post number on Comdr. & Mrs. Andrew E. Strawhand memorial bench. Record it here _____________

Now find the number of wars in which “They Died So That We Might Live Free”. Record it here _____________. Multiply that number by 3 = _______________. That’s the number you want to subtract from the number of veterans listed on the monument. Record your result here __________. Add that number to the VFW Post number above.

That’s your first set of co-ords to waypoint two. Record them here: N43 09.__ __ __

Ok, Troop, you are half way there. Now, find Captain Wise. Using the last three numbers of the year he was mustered out ________, subtract 260 to get your next set of co-ords. Record the result here: W077 26.__ __ __

Move It, Move It, Move It, to waypoint two! Set those results into your GPSr and storm the woods to the final 30 cal. ammo can. Original contents of the can include American flags, dollar store GI toys, a Battleship game keychain, small bags of green army men and a FTF prize. Try to trade according to the theme.
