The above coordinates will take you to two
Pennsylvania Historical markers located along North Front
Street near the park. One of the markers, the one in this
picture, pertains to the origin of the fort. The other marker,
which is the one you are looking for, has some interesting
history of the area before the fort was built. On this marker
you want to find a year that refers to someone leaving the
American Army. Take this year and use the numbers for the ABCD
in the following equation to find the coordinates for the
second part of this cache. If the year was 2001, AB would be
20 and CD would be 01
N 40 20.(583+AB) W076 54.(439+CD)
At the second part, you
will be standing near a building that has a sign near it
indicating that the building was constructed by Archibald
Mcallister. Here you will need to take the year that he build
the structure and use the numbers for the EFGH in the
following equation to find the coordinates for the cache.
N 40 20.(225+EFG) W076 54.(505+GH)

The best approach to the final cache is by using the path just
south of the pavilion at coordinates N 40 20.462 W076 54.54. When
crossing North Front Street, cross at the cross walk as the street
has a lot of traffic during certain parts of the day. The final
cache is an ammo box with a log sheet and some trade items.
Stealth will be required during the summer months and on weekends
as this park is heavily used. As usual, replace the container as
well as or better than when you found it.
