Geocache Description:

We love to find caches hidden in cemeteries...as weird as that sounds. So we've decided to place a series of caches in cemeteries that we come across during our travels around Illinois. We've named the series "AFCachers' Illinois Cemetery Series" (AICS for short). We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Also, please remember to be respectful and tread lightly when caching here.

PLEASE BYOP!

FTF goes to awanderer!!! Congrats again!

This cache is a three stage puzzle cache. You will use the clues below along with the numbers on certain markers to discover the location of the next stage as well as the final location of the cache. The coordinates above will take you to the first marker. Use the NUMBERS ONLY to decipher the coordinates.
Stage 2 is located at:

N 38° AA.BCD
W 89° BE.DFG

A = The first # in the date plus the third #
B = The third # plus the fourth # divided by the sixth #
C= The sum of the first three #s
D = The sum of the first two #s minus the sum of the last two #s
E = The second #
F = The second # divided by the last #
G = The third #

Using the oldest date on the next marker, you can now locate the final cache location:

N 38° AA.BCB (Use the date on the left)
W 89° DE.FDE (Use the dates on the right)

A = The fourth # divided by the fifth #
B = The second # multiplied by the fifth number
C = The first # plus the third #
D = The second # on top plus the sixth # on the bottom
E = The sum of the first two top #s and the first # on the bottom
F = ZERO!!!

Please replace the cache as it was found!! HAPPY CACHING!
