Geocache Description:

The actual cache is not at the posted coordinates.

There was a geocacher who loved to cache in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Last summer he cached for nine consecutive days, each day in a different location: four in New York (Albany, Rochester, Rye, and Syracuse), three in New Jersey (Newark, Teaneck, and Trenton), and two in Pennsylvania (Bethlehem and Scranton). Discover the order in which he was in these locations to locate the hidden cache. 1 – Each day he found himself in a different state from the previous day. 2 – He visited all four cities in New York sometime after visiting Bethlehem and sometime before visiting Trenton. 3 – He didn’t visit Newark three days after he visited Rochester. 4 – Four cities that he visited in order, but not necessarily consecutively, are: Teaneck, Rye, Albany, and Scranton. 5 – He never crossed the state line between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. When you have figured the order in which the locations were visited, substitute those numbers for the following final coordinates: N38.3 Bethlehem.3 Scranton Syracuse W075.0 Rochester. Trenton Bethlehem Syracuse This cache is on Private Property and placed with permission of the property owner.
