Geocache Description:

This will the first of a series – if you like this sort of fun cache – keep your eyes out for more – I’m working on them right now. Make sure you keep the final co-ordinates as you will be using these to final R.I.P.#7

Come to this lovely little cemetery close to Matthews center – almost always ‘dead’ quiet and void of muggles.

*** Please be sensitive to anyone who may be at the cemetery and of course the people laid to rest there. Please also let me know if you think a cache like this is not within the geocaching guidelines for cache placements ***

Terrain easy enough for almost anyone and any mode of transport. You will be going around finding the information you need to get the final location of the actual cache. Each clue below will require you to find the headstone that has the information on it.

The Co-ordinates listed above are for the first location (clue #1) – each location will give you one number towards the last three numbers for the N and W co-ordinates needed for the final cache location. You can do them in any order of course.
THIS IS A GREAT CACHE TO DO WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSON – MAKES HUNTING FOR THE CLUES EASIER!

Final cache is at N 35 07.ABC W 080 43.DEF

1) Logan Daniel lies here. What month was he born on? -- N 35 07._B_
2) Small town close to here – S_______S How many letters in it’s name, minus 1? -- W 080 43.D_ _
3) Famous Archer – Robin ____ - How many pots are there? -- N 35 07.A_ _
4) Greatest commandment is to _____ the Lord your God – last digit of year Gene died? -- W 080 43._E_
5) Look for a book with the inscription: I have fought the good fight! Rev John Jesse McLendon – Month he was born, minus 10? -- W 080 43._ _F
6) Brand of electric Guitar - G-----N – Frank died this year 19 _ 8 -- N 35 07._ _C

Check sum for ABCDEF – Total should = 25

Cache is a small round tin – big enough for some trackables or small tradables. Has FTF gift - A little something from New Zealand. BYOP! (has pencil though)

Only do spoilers if you are either stuck or low on time or don’t have a team to help find the clues. Enjoy the hunt!

Honors go to therapaint! (again ;))
