Geocache Description:

This cache replaces M.A.M.A.A.W.M. (GC10DVP) The former was muggled more than a few times, so here is a new one for everyone to find.. This cache is close to the old one, but where????

I decided that it would be better to not just make this another C&D… So you have to drive a bit to find it.

First Waypoint: An orange pole, near a train station in the town I grew up in, watching trains and later photographing them.

Second Waypoint, An orange pole at another train station where I take pictures of trains. Also the “next stop” after the First Waypoint.

The orange poles have black numbers on them. They can be seen from the waypoints, you don't even have to exit your vehicle. They are mileage markers from Center City Philadelphia. You need those numbers.

Once you get the numbers fill them in below, that will give you the coords to find the cache (Final Waypoint):

N 39° 51.S (T+X) X

W 075° 2 Y.T 2 (X+A)

First Waypoint Number _ . _
.............................. S . T

Second Waypoint Number _ _ . _
.................................. X Y . A

Cache Container…. Small – Metal Black Bison Tube about 2 inches long, . It is located where the Steam engines came across the Pike, to merge on to the B & O Railroad on their way to being delivered. Across the street you will see the old 8 story high Office Building.

If you Google the town names on the stations you will get history including the railroad aspects. Basically both these towns were created by the railroad you are following.

Please DO NOT remove the cache, just take it apart..

The hint to finding it, is on this page…… somewhere…..

And – if you get this all correct…. FIELD CHECKSUM!!!!!

The last 5 “N” Coord digits ( 51 . _ _ _ ) add up to 23

The last 5 “W” Coord digits ( 2 _ . _ 2 _ ) add up to 17

Parking Coords N 39° 51.974 W 075° 20.600

This is the same as all the other Urban Caches – Beware of Muggles :) :) Please do not try when Church Muggles are around: Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings – different times.
Beware of “Office Building Muggles”

CONGRATS To earlypearly89 For FTF!!!!
