This is three of six Memorial Day boxes. They are temporary and will be available until mid June.
August 18th, 2005
Mosul, Iraq
The 1-24 Infantry Regiment had taken casualties around the Yarmook Traffic Circle in downtown Mousul. Lieutenant Colonel Eric Kurilla and a team from the 1-24 set out in Strykers to find the shooters. There were reports of gun fire back at the Yarmook Circle so that’s the direction the team headed.
Three armed men in a black Opal were spotted by Kiowa helicopters near the Yarmook area. When the car was fired upon by the crews of the Kiowa’s, the men abandoned the car and ran on foot.
The Strykers were close behind. About fifteen seconds after the car had been abandoned the soldiers were out of the Strykers and the chase was on.
Clues:
Begin at Lisbon Park between Sussex and Merton. Park in the first paking lot. Follow the paved path out of the parking lot to an intersetion with a main trail. Turn right at the intersection and follow the trail beneath a set of high power wires and over a small bridge.
Watch for the eleven mile trail marker on the right side of the trail. From this marker go back seventy steps. Look for a large tree on the right hand side of the trail. The box is hidden in a hollow in the base of the tree.
