Welcome to Runnymede Park.
About the park (from the Friends of Runnymede Park Website):
Experts have documented over 450 native plant species living in this park, unusual for a park of 1,000 acres, remarkable for a park of just 58 acres. [On any given day, you can] walk through a few of the twenty trails in the park and in one hour [you might see] 22 flowering native plant species, two species of woodpecker, a half dozen species of songbirds, an array of insects including dragonflies, damselflies, beetles, and butterflies, a box turtle, a great blue heron, a new beaver dam, and a pair of deer browsing in the 1.2 acre meadow. Here is a natural park where we can recharge our batteries and constantly capture what Rachel Carson once described as our Sense of Wonder.
History lives here from the artifacts that were left behind by Native Americans that hunted in these woods from 10,000 to 400 years ago to a simple stone cabin built by a Washingtonian at the turn of the century trying to escape the bad air of the city for a few weekend days in the country. Walk the trails and see the mill race remnant that once powered a saw mill that cleared these woods in the early 1800’s to allow cattle to become the pride of Herndon. In fact it was the market need for our dairy products that helped to capture the train station that would open just before the Civil War and generate the name for our Town.

Your challenge, starting at Stage 1, find the information center and identify the aforementioned Stone Cabin and find it.
At Stage 2, you will find more information about this amazing cabin.
The final stage is at the following N38 58.XXX / W077 22.YYY
XXX = The number of letters in the name(s) of the cabin - 208.
YYY = (The last decade someone lived here - the circa year the cabin was built + 11 ) * 2
Container is a good size with a number of goodies, big enough for trackables for sure.
