This cache has been archived.

Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

The youngest gamer wanted this to be our first multi/off set cache. It is located in the Capuchin Cemetery. St. Lawrence Seminary is up on the hill. You can park just about anywhere. The cemetery is on a hill, so a stroller with anti lock brakes and a parachute would be helpful. I'd tell you more about the place, but all the information will be on the plaque titled: The Hill at Mount Calvary. DIFFICULTLY LOWERED TO A 2 FROM A 3 SINCE IT IS NO LONGER A MULTI-CACHE.

I'M MAKING THIS A REGULAR CACHE INSTEAD OF A MULTI. THE COORDINATES WILL DEPICT THAT. DISREGUARD BELOW. I MAY TURN IT AROUND SOME DAY.

You will be looking for a camo match stick container for the final. All the following information will be on the plaque at the listed coordinates. Happy reading. Give your kids something to do. To figure this out find the following:
ABC = The year of the great fire minus 1403
D = The last digit of the anniversary year of the first permanent
Capuchin foundations in the Americas
E = the number of times "Fr." is used minus one.
F = Number of 4 digit years on the plaque counting the
dedication year minus 8.

Final will be at N43º 49.ABC
W088º 15.DEF

A Munchkin would have an issue with retrieving the final unless they had help.
Check out the stations of the cross on the West side and where the brothers are buried just off of the plaque.

The mosquitoes are not prejudice. It should be winter friendly.
WSQ stands for the Wisconsin Spirit Quest. Please be respectful of the markers for the final is not located in direct contact of any. If a service is going on, please return at a later time. Night time is not a good time to be in the cemetery.

Congratulations to randynmel and julnruss for the shared FTF!
Thanks kmsnoop for a slight error on my part. Error corrected.
