Geocache Description:


At the posted coordinates you will be standing in front of a unique structure that was created to display a very special clock and bell. The clock was donated to the Town of Hampton in July 1897 by John T. Brown, in loving memory of his recently departed wife. It was originally installed in the spire of the Odd Fellows Building but the building was destroyed by fire in 1990. Fortunately, the clock tower was not completely destroyed and the clock and bell remained intact.

After years in storage, a group of volunteers formed the Hampton Town Clock Committee and began to restore the clock. When the project was completed in November 2016, it marked the first time the town clock operated in twenty-six years.

The coordinates for the final cache, which is located less than a mile away from the Hampton Town Clock are:

N 42° IA.RIO W 070° RI.GLO

The key for solving the final coordinates is plainly visible while standing in front of the clock tower.

Note: There is no "9" in the North coordinates. There is no "5" in the West coordinates.
