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!

FOR THIS CACHE IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WHERE YOU PARK!

Use the coordinates associated with the correct answer to adjust the given coordinates.

The Western Maryland College Historical District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It comprises about three acres of McDaniel College’s 100 acres, including Carroll Hall, Levine Hall, Little Baker Chapel, and Ward Memorial Arch. Some coordinates of places on the NRHP are off by up to 150 yards because they were derived from topo maps of the USGS created under the

North American Datum of 1927 (3.589/1.898)

WGS84 GPS system (3.627/1.782)
