This five-part virtual cache takes you on a walking tour of Easton. PA. Metered parking is available throughout the city. You can park once and easily walk the entire route. The goal is to find a date at each of the waypoints and continue to add these dates to each of the posted GPS values. For example, if the date at the first cache is 1234, you'd add 1234 to both N40 39.577 and W075 10.696 and get N40 40.811 W075 11.930. E-mail the answers to each of the questions. We hope that you enjoy our first cache.
