While visiting my in-laws for Christmas, I decided to place this cache. They were interested in learning about this wonderful sport and there is only one other cache within 6-7 miles. So I figured, I'd show them how it works while adding another cache to the game. This cache will take you to two very old cemeteries in the Wellington area. They have many of the original settlers of the area, as well as veterans from almost every war America has been in. PLEASE respect the graves.
**The listed coords are NOT for the final cache.**
To find the final cache you must figure out the cues below. The final cache is located on the property of St. Luke's Evangelical Free Church in Wellington, MO. UPDATE: When I placed this my father in law was the pastor at St. Luke's. He no longer is. So far I've not heard of the new administration having an issue, but be curteous.
The Clues ~ The Final Coords are: N 39.07.ABC W 093.59.DEF How to solve for the letters
A ~ N 39.07.859 W 93.59.565 ~ This will bring you to the grave of Mary Jaspring. Notice the two numbers that were carved into the stone after the rest. Multiply the first number (of those carved later) by 2...this gives you "A"
B ~ N 39.08.002 W 93.59.439 ~ This will bring you to the grave of a family that all died within 7 days of each other during the Influenza Epidemic. "B" is the month the daughter was born in.
C ~ N 39.07.819 W 93.59.560 ~ This will bring you to the grave of a Purple Heart recipient during World War 2. "C" is the month he was born and died in.
D ~ N 39.07.844 W 93.59.542 ~ This will bring you to a grave of another veteran of World War 2. "D" represents the # of his armored division (on his HEAD STONE).
E ~ N 39.07.860 W 93.59.545 ~ This will bring you to a grave stone of three children. "E" represent how old, in years, Carol E. was when she died.
F ~ N 39.08.009 W 93.59.438 ~ This will bring you to a quite sad grave (for the fact it's all by itself) of a child. "F" represents the number in years of the child's age when he died.
If you have any questions, comments, or problems email me through my profile and I'll be happy to help out (if I can). Container is fairly small, but holds a log sheet & has room for a few geocoins. BYOPoP (bring your own pen or pencil)
