Geocache Description:

This cache goes out to a truly great friend who introduced “The Goonies” to this compelling game. She is very intrigued by cemeteries and their history, and we wanted to do something “Special” for her 38th Birthday, so “The Goonies” dedicate this cache to her.

Ahoy Matey! Welcome to a “Goonie Adventure” in one of Louisa County’s unique historical sites. You will be visiting Bethel Church Cemetery, which was established in 1855 by the Jamison family. To this day, many descendants from this family hold weddings and gatherings at this site.

Official Goonies coin for FTF.

The listed coordinates lead you to the parking area, not to the cache itself.

And now for your “Goonie Adventure”:

Walk through the gates
And take a look around.
“Beloved son, Andrew’s” future place of rest
Is where you are bound.

Now take 20 strides
Due East.
Stop at the grave of
family members, deceased.

Use their ages
At death
To find
The next clue on your quest!

N 41° 06.XXX
W 091° 11.YYY
XXX = (her age at death) + 559
YYY = (his age at death) + 150
