These Borden's are quite possibly relatives of Lizzie Borden...
you know, the axe murderess from Fall River, Massachusetts, that
allegedly killed her father and step mother?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lizzie_Borden
By the way, she was acquitted of the murder but she lived on in
infamy. This poem was written in "honor" of her:
Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one.
Well maybe they aren't relatives but it makes it a little
spookier if you believe that they are!
You can drive right up to the cemetery and park at the
entrance.
Stage
1
Coords listed are to stage 1. Be stealthy in your
search... nobody said it would be easy.
Stage
2
To find Stage 2, you'll need the clues inside of Stage 1.
Figure out the answer to the two questions, and use them to decode
the coordinates, using the following cipher. Fill in the blanks
with one word then immediately with the next, using no spaces. The
occurrence order is important in solving the cipher.

As with all cemeteries, please respect the
area and those that have gone before
us. Please do not
change the hiding spots.
They weren't intended to be easy so please rehide it as you
found them. Take your
own writing instrument.
My sidekick JoeCacher97 and I thoroughly enjoy
challenging caches, whether it be due to size, terrain or a puzzle
involved, so we are attempting to make all of our caches above
average in difficulty. Hopefully when you conquer the caches you
feel like you accomplished something and that it makes you want to
search out the rest of our caches. While some are easier than
others, don't expect anything close to a stop and grab on any of
them. You can find most
of our caches centered around the Holmes County area and into
neighboring counties.
