Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given coords. Parking coords given below.

Here is a puzzle/multicache series based on a popular old song from the 60's. If you do all the caches in this series, including the final, you will have walked close to 2 miles roundtrip. You are looking for a 1-1/2" diameter PVC pipe.

Be sure to record the data you find inside the container's lid, in order to bag the final as well.

Now class, we're going to start with a quiz pertaining to extremely well known historical dates (read...you ought to know these by heart). No cheating; in other words, use of Google or Wilkpedia will be unacceptable:

The year Columbus sailed the blue: _ ! _ _
The year the Civil War ended: _ _ _ @
The year the Declaration of Independence was signed:_ _ # _
The year of "One small step for man...":_ _ $ _
The year Lewis & Clark set out: _ _ % _
The day that will live in infamy occurred in the year: _ _ ^ _

FINAL COORDINATES:
N 46° 58. ! @ #
W 123° 43. $ % ^
