Geocache Description:

Parking and trail head are located at N 39 19.166 W077 42.923. This is a large lot located on the left if you are traveling Rt. 340 Westbound (in between the two bridges). Hike is on the Loudoun Heights Trail, which is steep at times. Distance to the listed coordinates is about 3/4 of a mile and the elevation is 570 ft. This hunt will require binoculars or a camera with a zoom lens. (You will undoubtedly want a camera to capture the view!)

The value in this cache will be found along the way, not at your final destination. At the above coordinates, use your binoculars to scan the roof lines of the homes in Historic Harpers Ferry. For the first two digits you need to locate the name of the person for whom the museum was created. For the final two digits you need to identify what kind of museum it is.

The final cache coordinates are:
N 39 19._ _ 0 W 077 43. _ 3 _.

For the first missing digit, take the number of letters in the person's first name and subtract 3.
For the second missing digit, take the number of letters in the person's last name and add 3.
For the third missing digit, take the number of letters in your answer for the kind of museum and subtract 3.
For the final digit, take the number of letters in your answer for the kind of museum and subtract 1.

The cache container is a green ammo can.
ENJOY!!!
