When you've done the work needed to get the coordinates for this
cache, you'll arrive at a rarely visited historical marker. It
marks the former estate of a local historical figure.
Write down the name of his estate to be used as a password for
History Detectives - Professional..
On the historical marker, find the last year this man resided at
this estate.
Now add that number to the last four digits of the latitude
below and subtract the number from the last four digits of the
longitude listed below to get the correct coordinates of the next
stage of this cache.
Latitude: 40 15.806
Longitude: 75 59.366
These calculated coordinates will take you to a "turkey
vulture". Follow the white trail to the top of the hill and then
down the blue trail a short distance to collect the rest of the
code in order to find the cache.
