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!

Use the following corrections of lat-long to determine the actual hide location.

In 1835 John Pym Carter landed a teaching job at Male School No. 3 in Baltimore City—which at the time had only 8 teachers—and, more incredibly, only 8 schools! Perhaps the most famous person to express an interest in that teaching job was

John Rice Burroughs (2.841/3.982)

Edgar Allan Poe (2.916/4.204)

Ralph Waldo Emerson (2.800/3.961)

John Greenleaf Whittier (2.722/4.194)
