There are a number of parking garages and lots in the vicinity of this cache. The Hardy Lot at N38 08.999 W079 04.218 provides easy access, but on Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm it will cost you to park there. Some street parking is free but requires more walking to access this cache.
PART 1: Begin at the map at N38 08.920 W079 04.333. Staunton is the seat of Augusta County. I bet many of you didn’t know that you are natives of the county (at least per the original boundaries)! There are two dates at the bottom of the map.
County founding year: abcd

Look closely and note that the map is based on one drawn by Jed Hotchkiss. What year was his map dated?
Map date: ijkl
PART 2: Now proceed down the road to N38 08.904 W079 04.407, a tribute to some Staunton natives. How many “seats” are here? And how many men are honored?
# of seats: m # of men: n
PART 3: Now head back east to N38 08.953 W079 04.233, where perhaps the best seats in Staunton are found. Find the cornerstone on the front of the building.

The container is a magnetic black nano, the only thing I could hide in a place fitting with the theme of this cache. Please use stealth – this can be a busy place. Enjoy!
