Geocache Description:

My Son Tyler and I are huge fans of History and two of our favorite people in History are Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. We hid this Cache on the 4th of July. On the 4th of July in the same year Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died. We decided to make this Cache a puzzle cache so that you can learn a little bit of History about these two very interesting gentleman. I have provided the first part to the coords.

When I took the coords originally for this Cache I kept getting a lot of different Coords so I am adding a hint from one the postings below. Please do the following to help you. Subtract 0.007 from the N coordinate and add 0.004 to the W coordinate.

Please return as found.

Cache was started with all kinds of goodies.

Please have fun!
