Geocache Description:

The trail is approximately 6 miles--walkable in a couple or three hours, though the preferred method for most cachers is probably to solve all the so-called puzzles and to take two cars, dropping one at one end of the trail and driving the other to the other end. A considerable portion of your walk will be on pavement, whether walking/biking trails or the shoulder of a highway. Many of the cache containers are of the same type, so you'll usually know what to look for. Have fun!

Substitute the numbers in parentheses associated with the correct answer for the given digits of latitude and longitude:

The editor, whose grave can be found in his birthplace, Taneytown, was

John Wilkes Booth (.517/.293)

Booth Tarkington (.498/.171)

Joseph Shaw (.351/.207)

George Bernard Shaw (.428/.258)
