Geocache Description:

Terrain could be a 1.5 or 2.5 depending on your approach of the final

This is an easy cache in a half forgotten cemetery, located in a hidden hollow of Connellsville. Park at the listed coords and go from there. St. Emery's cemetery is a small but important burial ground that has
the honor of housing the remains of 10 of the brave miners lost in the Darr mine disaster.

This link has more info on that:

And here is another cache that has been placed in honor of that disaster: "DARR MINE CACHE" GCPNVG

There are many old graves in this cemetery, ( try to pronounce some of the names, I did, and sprained my tongue) and you will need to find one monument in particular to get the final cords. Look for the largest monument (not a headstone) in the cemetery and get the year off of it, call it "JKLM" take the four digits in the year on the marker and add them together J+K+L+M=A......take A...then do this......
[(A x A) x 2] + 65 = XXX
place your answer here in N40* 00.XXX

then take (A x JKLM) - 1219 = QQQQQ

place your answer here in W79* QQ.QQQ

The cache is not in the cemetery, but is further up the little valley. The straightest path is not always the best! Please re-hide well as this area does see its share of kiddie muggles. Good luck and happy caching!
