This cache will take you through some of the Vermillion Cemetery located in Hayesville. Founded in the early 1800s by John Cox, Hayesville is a small town (population around 350) taking up only about .7 square miles.
Your cache hunt will have you looking for Xs in three locations where you will find information leading to the final coordinates.
CLUE 1
Xenophon Harvey
N 40° 46.182' W 082° 15.671'
What day did Xenophon die?
MMDDYYYY = XENOPHON
(For example, if MMDDYYYY = 01011900, X=0, E=1, N=0, etc.)
CLUE 2
Melvin P Xander
N 40° 46.098' W 082° 15.632'
What day did Melvin die?
MMDDYYYY = MPXANDER
CLUE 3
Frederick Fox
N 40° 46.135' W 082° 15.661
What day did Frederick die?
MMDD = FFOX
To finish up, let X=0. For the other letters, list the numbers for duplicate letters and use the highest number. For example, if T appears 3 times with 0, 4 and 7, then T=7.
Find the coordinates to the final cache by replacing the letters with the corresponding numbers - 4 is filled in to get you started:
N 4X° 4F.N4X' W XEP° MO.FRP'
No need to disturb any grave sites. Cache is a camo pill bottle; could hold teeny tiny trades. Please BYOP.
