Mary Jane's Last Dance Multi-Cache
Arabia Alliance: After exploring the GZ, it seems age has really taken it's toll on the area. We would like to have a cache here based on the history, but pretty sure we won't be able to keep the integrity of the original puzzle. We are going to let this one peacefully retire and open the area up for another cacher to try a cache placement. Maybe a little further down the road, we can revisit the area. Thank you to the original CO for allowing us to adopt and attempt a rebuild. Also, a big thank you to everyone who has ventured out to give this one a try. Have fun out there!

We thought of Tom Petty's song when we placed this cache. This multi-cache is located at or near one of Lithonia's more prominent family's cemetery. You'll get the title when you reach the destination. Easy cache to find with minimal math skills & patience.
Final coordinates are: N 33 43.ABC
W 084 05.XYZ
