Geocache Description:

The location is a tiny roadside cemetery in Piscataway, NJ. At the time when this cache was hidden - in 2008 - more than 150 years have passed since the last person buried here died. Lots of the headstones are deteriorated beyond recognition.

The cache is a small sized natural looking container with room enough for only the log. First solve the puzzle below by obtaining info from the plaque at the entrance of the cemetery (which is located at the posted coordinates).. then you'll be on your way to finding the 2nd stage of this short 3-stage tour of the grounds and nearby woods.

While seeking this cache please do so in a non-destructive and respectful manor.

Enjoy -- and GOOD LUCK!
