Greetings, My name is Professor Hal Owean. I am the head of a prestigious group of... shall we saw legend hunters. We specialize in the unusual; mysterious beings, legends, and lore. You have a ghost story, we'll check it out. Hear a bump in the night; we'll record it. Have a family folklore, we'll hunt it. We are the the League Of Researching Everything Strange. L.O.R.E.S. for short. Along with my two field agents; Ima Gohner and Willy Survivit, we investigate cases from around the globe.
Due to an increase in paranormal activities world wide, we have found our resources stretched thin. We are looking to enlist some new field agents in your area to help us research the strange and the unusual. Do you posses a sixth sense? Do you want to prove myth from reality? Are you intrigued by the unexplainable? Then join us my friends as we embark on adventures of the mysterious kind. Come and be part L.O.R.E.S. today and find your gateway to the unknown.

Case # GC4ME8X Upper Bucks Pyrmaids:
LOCATION: East Rockhill, PA
LEGEND:"Between the quaint towns of Quakertown, Pennsylvania and Dublin, Pennsylvania, there exists a retreat that is even quainter yet. Nobody knows for sure what purpose the garden serves or what the garden commemorates. Well, to be 100% accurate, only a few select people know what goes on there, and nobody knows who those people are; so, basically, nobody knows what goes on in the garden.
What little bit we did know, before our investigation, is that the garden belonged to an owner that eventually shut it down for “personal reasons.” It is now closed to the public. The history to the place and mythology abounds; probably because in the center of the garden, two pyramids can be seen jutting up from tranquility of the garden retreat. Depending on when you go there, ritual chants can be heard from the outskirts. Robed figures can be seen in the distance. So, then what is really going on?
The garden is used for Rosicrucian rituals. Now, if you aren't familiar with Rosicrucianism, it is a secret society of religious clerics that were first developed in Germany. After exploitation and inquisition, the society became even more covert. According to our source, some of the society were outsourced to America, as early as Colonial times. Here, there magic flourished, and they actually have ties to the original Freemasons of America that included Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.
Currently, the Pyramid that can be seen from afar is one of many pyramids that this secret society lays claim to in Pennsylvania and across America. The pyramids are a network of magic that have been developed by the Rosicrucianists, whose society exists even until today. "(source: hauntedcuriosities.com)

MISSION: Investigate reports about strange goings on in the area. Groups of dark robed individuals holding strange ritualistic meetings are rumored to be worshipping an all-seeing eye. Time to get our there in the field and sort out fact from fiction. Check out the pyramids and investigate this all-seeing eye. Record your findings, if... or I mean when you make it back.
Good luck Legend Hunter.

*** THERE IS NO CACHE LOCATED AT THIS SITE. *** You will need to retrieve two numbers that are visible from the roadside. The numbers can be viewed from your car, so there is no need to get out.
The Pyramids and adjacent lands are all private property. -NO TRESSPASSING -
You are looking for two sets of four-digit numbers. First look for a green sign in front of the building, that reads "Beverly Hall." You will see a four digit number on the bottom. Record that number as Y.
Second, across the driveway from that sign is a telephone pole. On that pole is listed vertically in large white numbers on a black background another four-digit number. Record that number as X.
Once you retrieve the numbers you can drive over to the Weisel Hostel (catty corner from the Pyramids). Pull off the road into their lot. From here you can do your calculations and check them to the Geo-Checker. Once confirmed go seek out the truth to this mystery.
The truth can be found at:
N40 26.XXX W075 17.YYY
Where XXX = (X - 5026) and YYY = (Y - 809)
