Geocache Description:


This journey starts at Barkhamsted Hollow Cemetery Green. The bell formerly hung in the Hollow Universalist Church. The church was demolished when Barkhamsted Reservoir was built in the late 1930s. The stones supporting the bell come from the Saville Dam spillway damaged during the great flood of 1955. The nearby cemetery also has many guests relocated from the reservoir's current area due east. The bell has been known to mysteriously ring on Halloween. Could some of the nearby guests be expressing their unrest?

At the above coordinates look between the granite stones to the southwest and off in the distance for a date.
The first two numbers equal XX.
The next two numbers equal YY.
The final is at N41 55.[51-XX]3 W072 57.[YY+32]8.

Example: XX = 19; YY = 38. Coordinates = N41 55.[51-19]3 W072 57.[38+32]8 = N41 55.343 W072 57.708.

As always, enjoy the adventure!
