Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of six caches that has information needed to solve the puzzle cache "Avengers: S.H.I.E.L.D."

Captain America was the First Avenger and this is my first cache.  It's super easy. 

Why here?  Before he was Captain America, Steve Rogers wanted to join the military so I figured this would be a fitting place.


If you just want to find the cache, feel free to skip this part.  But if you want to learn more about Captain America, read on and enjoy!

Oh and thanks to CraigsOutside for the inspiring this series with his "Dead Cachers Tell No Tales" puzzle.

Steve Rogers was a scrawny fine arts student specializing in industrialization in the 1940's before America entered World War II. He attempted to enlist in the army only to be turned away due to his poor constitution. A U.S. officer offered Rogers an alternative way to serve his country by being a test subject in project, Operation: Rebirth, a top secret defense research project designed to create physically superior soldiers. Rogers accepted and after a rigorous physical and combat training and selection process was selected as the first test subject. He was given injections and oral ingestion of the formula dubbed the "Super Soldier Serum" developed by the scientist Dr. Abraham Erskine. Rogers was then exposed to a controlled burst of "Vita-Rays" that activated and stabilized the chemicals in his system. The process successfully altered his physiology from its frail state to the maximum of human efficiency, including greatly enhanced musculature and reflexes.
