Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Remembering memorials and places I enjoy visiting.


The cache is at: N 35 2D.MLK W 080 3Y.[U-Q]D'J'

where

1: "To protect
Our children
This fence is erected
In loving memory of
Miss Virginia Montgomery

(Chain link fence near corner)

2: If it's summer and you want something cold, or you just want something sweet, and cold, then this is a good place to visit.

3. Confederate Monument:

"EFGH - In Memoriam - JKLM
This monument is erected
to the memory of the

The emblems of peace shall thy slumbers enshrine
Then take this memento Tis all we can offer
Oh grave of our comrade this tribute is thine."

Adam Ceophus Troutman A'B'C'D' - E'F'G'H' Note: BlindReff and Novastar host an annual meat and greet at Troutman's BBQ.

Gen. Paul Barringer and Wife Elizabeth

What is the first word on both markers? Calculate the "letter value sum" of that word: J'K'  Note: May or not be directly related, but the Barringer gold mine in Richfield, NC has an interesting history, both from civil war times and more recent.

 Bonus points: If you can find and upload a picture of the marker for Elizabeth Blackwelder, b. 1800, d. 1872, there is an open request by Carolyn Lane Lewis since March 17, 2017, and I'm sure she would be grateful. Thanks!
