The Last General To Die.
As the Civil War came to a bitter end in Virginia, it still lingered on in Georgia. Wilson’s Union cavalry was on a path of destruction from Selma, Alabama to western Georgia and beyond. Most of the Confederate troops left to defend these areas were old men, boys, and some remnants of regular army. Even though starved and relatively out of supplies, these Confederate soldiers gave their last full measure for the South.
Strap on your GPS and come ride with me on the time machine... that will take you back into history.
Part one: Travel to the cache coordinates. On one of the markers you should find the answer to this question, “What was lost at Missionary Ridge?”
Use the answer to decode the coordinates for part two.
G=6, E=8, and L=3

N32° 52.624
W085° 10._ _ _.
Part three: You are half way at this point. Watch for trains. Next question: How many cars and engines were destroyed? Add these together, and subtract 34 to find the next cache.
