Geocache Description:

An easy multi starting at the cemetery of the Manchester United Methodist Church with the final nearby but outside of the cemetery.

Please be respectful of the area and do not search after dark.

***Permission obtained to use the church parking lot for access to the cemetery and the nearby final location.***


This corner property was part of the property originally owned by John Ball and he donated it to the church in 1823. The church has gone through many iterations and new buildings. This little noticed cemerery is very close to the Manchester/HW141 intersection. There are many tombstones dating back to mid 1800's for the burial dates. The city of Ballwin was named after John Ball.

At the stoplight on HW141, turn West (across from Costco) on to Woods Mill Rd for access to parking and the graveyard. DO NOT park on the new HW141 to access anything.

At WP1 above, you are looking for dates when Beaver and Sandy were born. With those numbers and some simple math, you will have the final coordinates.

For the North decimal minutes, use the month Sandy was born and multiply times 7. Then subtract that value from the North decimal minutes at the top of the page for your new North coordinates.
SANDY Month born * 7 = A; .744 - A = new North decimal degrees.


For the West decimal minutes, use the last 2 digits of the year Beaver was born. Then subtract that value from the West decimal minutes at the top of the page for your new West coordinates.
BEAVER Last 2 digits of year born = B; .591 - B = new West decimal degrees.

The final is an easy short walk but is NOT in the cemetery. You are looking for a short soda bottle cap container.
