The posted coordinates take you to an interpretive sign near a parking lot in downtown Westminster. You will need to answer questions using the sign to figure out the location of the final geocache.
On the interpretive sign titled "Divided Loyalties", look for the following information:
1. AB = Address of Abner Neal house on East Main Street
2. C = # of Westminster residents arrested by Federal soldiers.
3. D = # of Abner's sons which were arrested
4. E = # of Colonel Thomas Rosser's Virginia Calvary
The geocache is at the following: (A)(A+D)(A-B).(E)(C-A-B)(D+E)
Now you are looking for a letter. There is a general pictured on this sign. What is the first letter of his last name.
This gives you three numbers followed by a dot, three more numbers, and a letter. (###.###Letter) The checksum of the 6 numbers is 42. This should be enough information to help you locate the geocache. The geocache is located in the Westminster Library which is given as a reference point. The name of this cache is also a hint.
The final location of the geocache is only able to be accessed from
9am-8pm Monday through Thursday
9am-5pm Friday and Saturday
Closed on Sunday
Please be respectful of the patrons of this establishment when searching for the geocache.
This geocache placement has been approved by the Westminster Library.
