Geocache Description:

Regular Tupperware container.

I took a few hours to cache in Chapel Hill and stumbled on this cemetery. I thought I was done with my cemetery caches for awhile but after taking a stroll through the Chapel Hill Memorial Cemetery I decided to set up another cemetery cache.

You will need to visit 3 locations in the cemetery to obtain the coordinates to the final cache. The cache is very close but not in the cemetery. As I strolled through this cemetery I was struck by some of the young people who have passed away and wondered what there lives were about and what they might have become. In addition, I placed this cache and then came back to my office to find out about the tragedy at Virginia Tech. Given I am an alum, I also would like to place this one in honor of those students who lost their lives.

The posted coordinates will take you to the gravesite of Alicia Scott Land, a young girl who passed away not too long ago. I found her stone and words on the stone very moving.

X = Numeric month of Alicia's birth

35 56.575 079 00.859
These coordinates will take you to the gravesite of Kevin Reinhart Edmonds another young child. The phrase engraved on his stone also tugged at my heart.

YY = Kevin's birth year - 30

Latitude: 35 56.XYY

35 56.550 079 00.764
These coordinates will take you to the gravesite of Tiffany M Dockery, a young woman. Her gravesite indicates she was very loved and cared about. I have since learned the following from mlmoon:

Tiffany Dockery was one of three young women killed by a drunk driver when she was about 25 years old. Her mother is still an active campaigner with MADD. Tiffany was indeed well loved. Be sure to make her wind chime "sing" when you are graveside.

AA = Tiffany's year of death - 5
B = Day of birth / month of birth (divided by)

Longitude: 079 00.AAB

Please take the time to reflect on your own loved ones and please respect the area. Also, this cache happens to be in the Radius of Wonder.
