Our Historic Cache
Dates were fun to go on when we were younger. Dates are delicious when filled with an almond, wrapped in bacon and broiled.
BUT....dates are also very interesting and important. Take a little time to go through history with us.

Our historic cache is obviously not at the above co-ordinates. The solution to our puzzle is two step.

1. Figure out all the dates of these events.
2. Use the correct digits from the dates to answer the part 2 questions.

Now you have the co-ordinates!

We hope you have enjoyed a little historic review. Happy Caching!!
