This is a 3-part offset cache designed around two famous sites
in Hopkinsville, KY. The first two locations provide clues that
will lead you to the microcache (the third location).
Location #1:
The first destination is N36:52.407 W87:28.890. Look for the grave
of Edgar Cayce, the famous "Sleeping Prophet". Below is a brief
biographical sketch of Cayce:
Edgar Cayce (March 18, 1877 - January 3, 1945)
"He was an average individual in most respects: a loving husband, a
father of two children, a skilled photographer, a devoted Sunday
School teacher, and an eager gardener. Yet, throughout his life, he
also displayed one of the most remarkable psychic talents of all
time. His name was Edgar Cayce.
For forty-three years of his adult life, Edgar Cayce
demonstrated the uncanny ability to put himself into some kind of
self-induced sleep state by lying down on a couch, closing his
eyes, and folding his hands over his stomach. This state of
relaxation and meditation enabled him to place his mind in contact
with all time and space. From this state he could respond to
questions as diverse as, ‘What are the secrets of the universe?’ to
'How can I remove a wart?' His responses to these questions came to
be called 'readings' and contain insights so valuable that even to
this day individuals have found practical help for everything from
maintaining a well-balanced diet and improving human relationships
to overcoming life-threatening illnesses and experiencing a closer
walk with God." Text from www.edgarcayce.org
Once you have located Edgar Cayce's grave, note the initials of
the person buried to the immediate left of his grave. Use those
initials and the table below to determine the location of the next
clue.
A.S.B. = N36:51.071 W87:28.276
G.E.C. = N36:51.205 W87:28.218
B.L.C. = N36:51.143 W87:28.227
J.F.L. = N36:51.130 W87:28.009
Location #2
This historic park is one of the few documented sites of actual
trail and campsites used during the forced removal of the Cherokee
people to "Indian Territory". It was used as an encampment in 1838
and 1839. This park is the burial site for two Cherokee Chiefs who
died during the removal - Fly Smith and Whitepath. This long, cruel
relocation has become known as the "Trail Of Tears" and by Native
Americans as "The Trail Where They Cried".
If you determined the correct coordinate at location #1, you
should find the answer to the following question nearby:

Convert the answer into a number using the table below:
D=9 O=2
E=8 P=8
