Geocache Description:

This cache is on a college campus, but the coordinates are only to a parking lot there. To find the cache, you must first visit the college’s website (www.harford.edu) and solve the puzzle.

But first – a quick bit of history on the college:
Harford Community College was founded in 1957 as Harford Junior College. The main campus occupies 332 acres near Bel Air, Maryland, and has 19 buildings, including the Hays-Heighe House, which was built in 1808 and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Thomas Run Park hosts games for the “Fighting Owls”, and the Amoss Center and Chesapeake Center offer a variety of affordable entertainment, including local theater and national acts.

The cache’s true cords are
39. A BCD
76. E F
