Geocache Description:

COORDINATES ARE NOT AT THE LISTED LOCATION!!!!!

It is really a shame now-a-days how many people in America don't know very much about American History. This cache will help in that regard if only a little bit. In this cache you will be required to properly identify ALL of the American Presidents. However, I am not giving you their names, I am only giving you pictures of them. Some you may recognize, others you may not, but it is your job to correctly identify who they are AND their order in the presidency. Their Presidential numbers will be used in the formulas below to determine the actual coordinates. I hope you all have fun figuring out this puzzle and quite possibly learning something in the process :-).
