Geocache Description:

If you thought that This Apple is a History Buff was a nerd, wait till you meet his twin! Not only does he like history, but he likes puzzles too!

NOTE: The posted coordinates are NOT where you should start...see the first waypoint.

You may manage to see some of his 'brothers'...look for them at: 

 

Once you've figured out where / what his brothers are, this one may be easier...(though you can do this one all by itself). Also, see the original here: 

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

After leaving his brother This Apple is a History Buff to take his nap, this guy kept on trucking. He found a memorial to the Bicentennial of the Ratification of the U.S. Constitution (see waypoint, and be sure to read it), then continued north along the same path. He thought that it was interesting that in the past, this park (today known for its waterpark and skate park) was primarily dedicated to the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, and named for it as well, a fact that many who attend the park may not be aware of.

He continued on his way, and even found the original sign stating this fact. You can find it too by simply heading north past the waterpark. Once you DO find it, look nearby for an interesting dedication plaque on the ground near a tree. Our friend, worn out from all of his discovering, came to rest nearby...can you find him?

Do not worry, he left one more clue to those who might come searching for him: using the date when the original monument was erected, take that date, divide it by 2, and then look at the 3 whole numbers left (simply discard any fractions/decimal values). Take that last number (in the 1s place) and subtract it from the following coordinate numbers that are underlined:
N 40° 32.383 W 111° 46.953.
