Geocache Description:

This cache is not at posted cords. Solve puzzle to find cords. It is in a cemetery so it is only open during daylight hours.

This cache is in memory of Don Larson. I stumbled on his headstone while scouting in a cemetery near my house for a possible cache location. I had no idea he had passed away. He was the man that introduced me to backpacking and adventuring in general. So I dedicate this one to him. I think he would approve.

I hiked the continental divide with him. It was my 1st time and his last to make that summit in Colorado. He was a great guy.

The posted cords will lead you to his grave. Solve the puzzle and it will lead you to the final. Nothing to complicated.

Final is: N42 48.ABC
w086 12.DEF

ABC= last 3 digits of posted North cord minus the number of letters in his name as on tombstone.

DEF=the number of characters in his death date.

The final is in the cemetery and is a small lock and lock.
