Once upon a time, there was another cache in the vicinity of this
very nice hidden cemetery in the Martinsville section of North
Tonawanda. There's a Freddy Kreuger buried here, and the long gone
(found only 8 caches, hid only 1) cache placer claimed it was his
Great-Great Uncle. I don't know if I believe that, but I'm sure
we'll never know. Fred is buried near to my first leg coordinates,
if you're interested in looking for his headstone. Have a look
around anyways, there's some great history in St. Paul Lutheran
Cemetery. Please be respectful of your surroundings. The cache is
not near any graves or markers, it's located on wooded City
property outside of the Cemetery. Absolutely no night caching
allowed!!
It's kind of hard to pin-point an exact headstone in a cemetery
(especially with my crappy old Garmin), but the coordinates at the
top of the page should take you to the very nice headstone of a
married couple, who passed away in the same year. That fact, and
the cache name, will let you know for sure you've found the correct
marker. They were also avid gardener's, although I can't assure the
longevity of that clue.
The coordinates for the cache container are in the format:
N 43°
03.0AB
W 078°
50.1CD
- A = The number of heart shaped photographs on their
headstone.
- B = Add the 1st and 4th digit of the year they
died.
- C = Add the 1st and 4th digit of the year he was
born.
- D = The 3rd digit of the year he was born.
You're looking for a camo taped Farberware lock-n-leak in the
woods. If you don't see white tail deer when looking for the cache,
you probably did something wrong.
There is a high quality, extremely valuable FTF certificate
in the cache for the first finder. But you'll have to fill it out
yourself. Pictures of the lucky FTF'er with their certificate are
strongly encouraged.
