Geocache Description:


Octavius Catto - ground breaking educator, gifted orator, tireless organizer, one of the first African-American militia officers, barrier-smashing sports star, talented intellectual, and uncompromising Civil Rights activist... he was a man of an incredible number of talents.  He did more in his short 32 years upon the Earth than almost any Philadelphian of any age or time period .

Sadly, for decades, his life was all but forgotten by the city that he called home.  Fortunately, that has begun to change in recent years.  Take a walk through the Philadelphia streets where Catto lived and worked to learn about this amazing individual.

This lab is a 1 1/4 mile walk from the first to last stop.  I've numbered the stops in a way that best tells his story, but that would require a MUCH longer walk with a lot of backtracking.

There is nothing at the posted coordinates. To find the coordinates for this puzzle, you must work on the nearby Adventure Lab of the same name. When you reach the stop closest to the cache and enter the correct answer, you will receive the coordinates.
