Geocache Description:

Alton Cemetary - slightly hilly terrain, wheelchair access to original coordinates. Actual hide location will require walking on a small hill.

This cache was placed In tribute to the World's Tallest Man. The coordinates above take you to the grave site of Robert P Wadlow - the tallest human to ever live. At 8ft. 11.1 inches tall he stood taller than anyone, past or present. Straightforward Puzzle cache with a short walking distance between the actual and final. Please respect the area and tombstones when parking and searching as this is a place of rest for those who've passed before us.

To solve for the final:
38 54.ABC
090 09.DEF

A - Add up the Number of letters and #'s combined, on the line of the tombstone representing his Birth
B - the last # in the Year of death
C - His height in Feet minus 4
D - Two words at bottom of tombstone - # of letters minus 3
E - 2 numbers for actual DAY of birth: add them + 1
F - Month of his birth is this #

Enjoy the cache and post pictures if you get the chance. Small round lock & pop container that's camo'd. Will hold small items.

Congrats on the FTF awanderer, sneakygeogirl and bigskykevin!!
