Right on Time Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cool Librarian: After a surprisingly long run, this cache is being archived. The site of the cache is being renovated, and I highly doubt that the hiding place can be replicated afterwards.

I have made arrangements for the cache to be picked up.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to solve this one! Peace.

Geocache Description:

The coordinates above are not for the cache!
They will put you between the two potential sites where the cache is actually located.

Your research will provide you with history on an interesting man, and two interesting places in the Greater Providence area. However, only one of these locations contains the cache. Creative thinking, and a clue here or there (in your research, in the description, in a couple of logs), will take you to the general area of the cache. Once at the general location, your acute “cacher’s sense” will tell you where the cache is most likely hidden.

The cache is a small, camouflaged Rubbermaid container containing a few small goodies and cool finder's magnets. The cache site is very busy and is therefore well-hidden from sight. PLEASE BE DISCREET WHEN FINDING AND REPLACING THE CACHE! In fact, it would be a good idea to take the cache away from the site and do your logging and trading elsewhere. Please be sure hiding spot is as you found it (or better) when you are done.

The man you need to know: Horace W. S. Cleveland

The encrypted hint will only help at the actual cache site.

Note: February 28, 2005
Because this cache has proven tough, and because it has been around almost a year, I'll offer these hints: It's not a clock, but the cache name IS a hint. You may come across a reference to the EXACT location in your research. But, your research will definitely give you the GENERAL location.
