Geocache Description:


This cache will take you on a short tour highlighting some hidden historical sites within a short jaunt around town.

The Final can be found at:
N 35 01.ABC
W 081 48.DEF

At this location you will find a small engraved stone near the entrance. Locate the very last digit and substitute it for letter “D”

Now travel to: N 35 01.208 W 081 48.242
This site has a small brick pedestal with a brass plaque. Once again, use the last digit and substitute it for letter “C”

Make your way to: N 35 00.964 W 081 48.226
This simple marker bears only a four-digit date. Use the very first number and insert it as letter “E”

A short trip will take you to: N 35 00.946 W 081 48.121
Inside the gated area you will find an interesting remnant from the past. Insert the last digit as letter “A”

A short stroll away will find you at: N 35 00.886 W 081 48.171
Locate the date that the Depot was built. Subtract the FIRST digit from the LAST digit and enter that number as letter “F”

While in this area, you should make quick work of these coordinates: N 35 00.878 W 081 48.172
This should have you near the end of the line! Add the last two numbers together and insert them as letter “B”

At the final location, please park in the parking lot to continue your search!
