This cache is approved by the Chester County Park management.
The coordinates above are just to the park entrance. The
final coordinates are listed below with letters covering the final
numbers. You must solve the puzzles below to replace the
letter with the appropriate number to get the final
coordinates. All puzzles are solvable at the park and you
don't need to be able to enter the Mansion or any other
place. I suggest you print out a copy of the
park map from the
Chester County park website to bring along. The
cache is an ammo box filled with things ranging from a Peter Pan
toy to a copy of the Myst computer game. You do not need to
venture very far off any trail to get to the cache. The cache is
NOT located directly on Lake trail, per regulations. The final
coordinates were based on an average of a few readings (gps/tree
canopy issues). No bushwacking is required - it is only about 5-6
feet off of a trail.
Now for the moment
you've been waiting for -the coordinates and the
puzzles:
