A multi-stage cache in a wooded park.
In October of 1983, 25 year old Staff Seargent Allen H. Soifert was killed by sniper fire while he was serving with the multi-national peacekeeping force in Beirut, Lebanon. The Soifert Memorial Fields located in Mine Falls Park in Nashua, NH honor the memory of Sgt. Soifert.
At the posted coordinates you will find a stone memorial marker. Using the dedication date which you will find on the stone, add the the number corresponding to the month, the day of the month, and the year together (this will give you a 4 digit number). Add this number to the following coordinates to get the coordinates of the second stage:
42 44.046
71 27.213
(for example, if the 4 digit number you come up with is '1234' [not the real number] the coordinates of the second stage would be 42 45.280 71 28.447 [not the real coordinates])
Add the number found at the second stage to the following
coordinates to get the coordinates of the third stage:
42 46.013
71 29.176
At the third stage you will find the information you need to
determine the full coordinates to the location of the cache:
42 4_._ _ _
71 2_._ _ _
Parking is found at the end of Whipple Street at N42 45.621 W071 29.456. The hunt is all on well groomed trails
or open fields until you get to within about 200 feet of the cache.
All waypoints are within one half a mile of the previous waypoint, and the cache is located within one half a mile (as the crow flies) from the posted parking coordinates. You should be able to complete the cache in less than an hour.
