When you find this cache, you will be standing in what was the backyard of the Berg Dairy Farm, very near the processing plant. The dairy opened in 1932, with the actual store and ice cream shop located about where the Weis store is today. The Berg Farm included most of the land that is the Seven Courts community today. The property stretched to the Gunpowder River to the North and to the Spamer Homestead and Airfield (a topic for a future cache)
The dairy offered fresh ice cream and other dairy products. The original dairy store and restaurant was actually the home of the Berg family. Behind the store was a processing plant, approximately where the Willow Pond community is. The remainder of the land was mostly open cow pasture with a small stream running though it.
Katherine Berg died in 1979 and most of the Berg Farm property was sold for development. However, the dairy store remained open until the early 1980s. I remember visiting relatives here in Baltimore in the early 70s and going to Berg's Dairy.

THE PUZZLE: Since this is adjacent to a bicycle lane, here is a bicycle related puzzle: Clancy Legstrong rode in a bicycle race recently. The route was an out and back course (from point A to Point B and back) and took four days.to finish. The first half of the race, Clancy had a tailwind and was able to maintain a 20 mph pace. Coming back, Clancy was riding into the wind and could only average 15 mph. The second half took him 5 hours longer than the first half. What was the distance from point A to point B?
Subtract the number from both the latitude and longitude, after the decimal, to locate the cache.
