Geocache Description:

This virtual cache is dedicated to the memory of the 78 Californians whose lives were tragically lost on September 11, 2001.

Imagine yourself leaving either the Boston or the New York City areas after a vacation or a business trip. It's early in the morning on just any other Tuesday, and although the flight is a non-stop, you won't be arriving home in California until that evening. However, on that particular Tuesday 19 terrorists decided that your destination would not be California, rather it would be either one of the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, or a field in Pennsylvania.

* 9-23-2003 The original cache 'container' was removed. Nuts. I will replace it or modify it in the future. Until that time, as proof of your visit, when you log your find on the cache-page, please include the name from the plaque that follows alphabetically, the name listed in the log-entry previous to yours. You may wish to write down a few names -- in the event that there are multiple finds on the day you were at the cache site. Thanks.

* 10-8-2003 I am deeply touched by the direction of the logs on this cache page. Although it is not a requirement for verifying a visit, many geocachers have taken it upon themselves to research the history of the individual that they name in their logs. These moving tributes have made me conclude that this hallowed location would be better served if it were to remain a virtual cache. Therefore, I requested that the cache type be permanently reclassified.

It is a moving testament to the reverent and gracious character of geocachers. (Tom -- 'Brainerd')
