Geocache Description:


Location: Lakeside Cemetery

Hidden, on a really chilly winter afternoon. Time to get this one into action.

Cache is NOT inside or on Cemetery grounds but the final is not to far away.

At the posted coordinates you should look around. Specifically, you are looking for Olof and Anna's resting place.
More specifcally you are looking for a brass plaque, however you will also need to compare that to the granite marker.

Olaf and Anna were among the first Swedish homesteaders, in 1868.

Answer the following questions:

  • A = # Olof was Born and Died in the same month (Month MINUS 2 = A)
  • B = # Anna was born September #, 1832, (#sign MINUS 1 = B)
  • C = # number of letters in the NAME of the original community formed in 1868 (number of letters MINUS 7 = C)
  • D = # Olof was born, that is certain. Check the Born year on the granite versus the Born year on the plaque.
    Take that difference (yes the born year difference), and then subtract 1 = D, the last number you need for the final coordinates

Now for some quick and hopefully simple math.

N45 19 . A B C
W93 55 . A D D

That is all there is to it. You are seeking a winter friendly micro container.
