EDIT: 1st sign is no longer available, the second is at N 43° 12.912 W 077° 56.154 . The history of Brockport, NY, begins in the late 18th century, when European Settlers arrived to learn that the land was occupied by the Seneca Indians. Since that point, a large amount of important history has happened in this area. (for more detailed history, visit http://www.brockportny.org/about/history)
This muti-step cache will bring you around Brockport to multiple historical markers, where you must obtain information for the next step. The neccesary questions for each sign will be in this description. Although intended for an enjoyable walk around this lovely town (approx. 2 miles), this cache can also be completed with ease by car. The final coordinates will bring you to a final place of history, where a physical cache will be found. The cache is a small/medium sized camouflaged tube.
The posted coordinates wil bring you to the famous Morgan Manning house, where a sign will be found. Use this sign to solve the next set of coordinates, and so on!
(Note: for the puzzles, the numbers in the degrees of the coordinates never get replaced with a letter)
