Starting at your new coordinates head due south. You will come across some ornate wooden doors. Once inside please do what the very nice agents ask you to do. Do not ask them about the cache they can not help you, just tell them you are visiting. Just make sure not to bring any thing dangerous with you. Keep heading south once in the building you will pass the visitors center.
Head south through the hallway. You want to make your way to the third floor. My favorite way is to take the first set of stairs/elevator to the first floor and then take the Official State Cage Elevator (KS Stat § 73-3501) to the 3rd floor. Once you make your way to the third floor head to the north and and find this treasure sitting on the bottom shelf to your right, as you enter into the room. You are looking for a large red leather treasure chest.
