Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES

But a great view of the State Capitol to the west is. :)

This cache is a part of the Lincoln Park Series and a part of the Lincoln Historic Series.

This Mystery is just meant to demonstrate the neat tool of projection coordinates.

The Ross house is a historic cottage owned by Nimrod and Ellen Ross from 1904-1917. Nimrod Ross was a freedman, born a slave in 1863 in Tennesse. Ross was one of the first African-American police officers in Lincoln, NE in the 1900's. The home was most likely built by Henry Breuckner in 1903. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1999.

From the Ross House coordinates in the waypoints you'll find the final 1,487 feet in the direction of 102.5 degrees from North.
