Geocache Description:


Welcome to Bethlehem ... Although we found mention of Bethlehem during our research, we have little information about it. Given the context of how Bethlehem was mentioned, we believe that it was a community rather than a locale or some type of landmark. We have done a cursory search and if it was a community, we haven't been able to find any evidence that it still exists.
 


Bethlehem was located in Wayne County.

When the people of Bethlehem refer to themselves, they frequently use Bethlehemite
Time Zone: The area where we believe that Bethlehem might be (or was) located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time.



Ground Zero is a tall statue with a three line phrase. Use the information from the phrase to locate the final located at N42 59.0AB w85 42.1CD:

A= # of letters in the last word
B= # of letters in the first line

C= # of S's + E's + Y's
D= # of letters in the second line
