Geocache Description:

After hiding my first cache, I was inspired to take fellow cache hunters on a field trip to some of the surrounding war memorial's near me that probably don't get too many visitors. I hope you enjoy.

Note: this adventure will take you longer than an hour (maybe 2 or 3) to finish. It is highly recommended that you bring along a calculator, and take a pencil and paper, as well (just to be safe).

Paperless (PDA) cachers beware: when you upload this page some of its formatting may get lost, thus possibly changing how the math is structured. Please review the puzzles below to be sure you won't have trouble when in the field.

CITO!! Please take this opportunity to pick up any trash that may be laying around or near the memorials while you make your visits.

The Andrew Bayne Memorial Park is located on North Balph and Teece Avenues. The park is a World War I Memorial to several Bellevue residents who were killed in action in France during World War I. The Andrew Bayne Memorial Library occupies the Bayne family house on the grounds. The house and grounds were a gift to the people of Bellevue by Amanda Bayne Balph and Jane Bayne Teece the daughters of Andrew Bayne.
