Geocache Description:

Fun, easy puzzle series.


Welcome to the "This Day in History" series. 

If you're like me, you don't like puzzle caches.  I've avoided them for years and now I am finally starting to attempt a few here and there.  I've decided to do some simple puzzle caches to encourage other people to give them a try as well as add a little challege to those easy, roadside caches.  All of the final locations will be pretty easy to access and are just places I find to place a cache as I am driving around New England.

On this day in 1abc, after a long meeting between Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin, a spokesman for the latter announces that the Soviet Union will officially cease to exist on or before New Year’s Eve. 

 

Final location is N 44 00.abc  W 071 06.470
