Geocache Description:

YOU CANNOT FIND THIS CACHE WITHOUT SNOW OR FLOUR!

This cache is located at Antigonish's Town Point cemetery (the real one this time). Resting here are the town's founder, Timothy Hierlihy, and his consort, Lucy.

To find the cache site, you must:
1. Find the age of Timothy Hierlihy at the time of his death, and add 5.

2. Subtract this number from the last 3 digits in the Northerly coordinates. These are your new last 3 digits.

3. Now subtract the last 2 digits in his consort's year of death from the last 3 digits of the Westerly coordinates. These are your new last three digits.

Timothy Hierlihy was an Irishman and an officer in the British Army. In 1775, he made his way to the Antigonish district of Nova Scotia. He cleared a place for a cabin in the forest and began to build a home, but left for New York in 1776 when the news came that war had broken out between England and its American colonies. There he appointed his son (who he, so cleverly, named Timothy) captain of the "Hierlihy Regiment". They were sent to the Maritimes, but some of the soldiers deserted the regiment. When Timothy II went to round up the deserters, he passed through Antigonish, and was so impressed, he decided he would settle there after the war.

This cemetery is on a 21,000 acre piece of land surrounding Antigonish Harbour known as "The Soldiers' Grant", which was divided among Hierlihy and 88 other soldiers after the war.

The cache is located in Seabright, off of Highway 337 in Antigonish County. Happy Caching!
