1) Start at N36 06.772 & W097 54.126. Find the lighthouse built as a memorial. You’ll need to remember or write down the name of the street the memorial stands beside.

2) Go to N36 06.683 & W097 53.948. You're now standing on the old Chisolm Trail. Read the marker describing the massacre of a government freighter and his crew. Remember or write down the name of the agency that was their destination when it happened.

3) Nearby is a memorial to the first Oklahoman killed in the Spanish-American war. Write down or remember the age of Roy Cashion when he died. And south of that is a marker commemorating the first rural mail route in Oklahoma. Write down or remember the year. Add these two numbers together (Roy's age plus the year the mail route started.)

Now, to get credit for this cache, please e-mail us the name of the street the lighthouse stands beside (you may use either of the two different spellings.) You may log your cache after you have e-mailed us (waiting is no fun), but we will delete any log that has not sent confirmation data. We will answer each e-mail, whether you log right away or wait for our okay. We don't check e-mail every day, so don't worry if you don't hear back from us immediately.

To complete this cache you may combine the saved words and numbers as a password, which will enable you to unlock a beautiful certificate of accomplishment created especially for this cache. You can print it out in full color, put it in an expensive frame, and hang it on your wall!

Anyway. Take the five letters of the agency’s name from #2. Follow that with the four digit total of the year plus Roy's age from #3. Place these four numbers after the name (all lowercase letters) – ie: xxxxx####, where ‘x’ is a letter of the agency's name, and ‘#’ is a number. This is the password which will open the file containing the Certificate of Accomplishment.

You might want to make a trip along the Chisolm Trail, and pick up some other nearby caches in Enid to the north, and Dover and Okarche to the south, or travel northwest to Fairview's history-oriented cache.
