Geocache Description:


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.
