Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the posted coordinates. Solve the puzzle to figure out the true coordinates.

Benjamin Franklin is known for many things, but this puzzle will focus on his role as the first United States Postmaster General. The office of U.S. postmaster general predates the country's founding. Benjamin Franklin was appointed by the Continental Congress as the first postmaster general in 1775; he had previously served as deputy postmaster general for British America since 1753.

Lots of letters go in and out of the USPS system every day. One of our favorite parts of sending letters is the stamps. The first postage stamps were created in 1847, depicting George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. To this day, stamps are being unvailed and circulated. These stamps below should hopefully help you find the cache(t).

 

Special Notes about LPC: This is a monthly puzzle series based off of Kablooey's KPC caches hosted by an anonymous group of 2-20 people. We really admire Kablooey's caches and his style, and this is basically our way to tribute him. Kablooey, if you have any issues and/or objections, please feel free to message us! 

About this puzzle: We're keeping it going with the names as titles! We've been doing pretty good on that. Honestly, you should be able to figure this out with some digging on Google. We should have probably released this puzzle in October for World Postcard Day, but oh well! 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
