Geocache Description:

The ultimate test for prospective History Detectives!

DO NOT GO TO THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE!

This cache is the final in a series of five caches called the History Detectives.

You'll need to solve the first three in order to solve the fourth which is needed to become a professional history detective. Make sure to take notes along the way as they will be needed to crack this level!

Click here to determine the latitude. The password comes from History Detectives - Presidential Estate. Eliminate the space between the two words when entering the password and make sure to use proper capitalization.

Click here to determine the longitude. The password comes from History Detectives - JuniorC Meeting House

Latitude: AB CD.EFG
Longitude: HI JK.LMN

Click to verify coordinates


The coordinates take you to a parking area and also the start of a two part multicache. To get to stage 1, follow the blazed trail in a westward direction until you're .56 mi away from your car(as the crow flies... you're not a crow, so follow the trail). There you'll find what looks to be a standard geocache container that is not well hidden. This is not the cache. The actual coordinates for this cache are located at the base of the tree on the other side. The final cache is located within 20 feet of the trail, please do not leave the trail more than that. This is an "out and back" hike. The cache is a medium sized ammo box. Trade items are welcome.
