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.

B. Which # President was John Adams? This number will give you B.

C. John Adams became president in what year? Take the 3rd number in date this gives you C.

D. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died the same day on July 4th. What year did they both die on? Subtract 6 from last number in date this gives you D.

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!

FTF Congrats Team Dozer12!
