Geocache Description:

The above coordinates DO NOT TAKE YOU TO THE CACHE. They take you to two adjacent Civil War tombstones in the Presbyterian Cemetery in Andover, Henry County, where you will get information to figure out the coordinates to the cache just outside the cemetery.

This is another of the Illinois Spirit Quest caches designed to bring you to interesting cemeteries. This is a two-part puzzle cache, but should be an easy find.

Andover's founder is buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery, established in the 1830's, located just off Rt. 81 along the Old South Andover Peoria Stage Coach Road.

The given coordinates will take you to two Civil War tombstones; each one gives a different Illinois Infantry number.

ILL Inf #1: ___ ___ = x

ILL Inf #2: ___ ___ ___ = y

Use those numbers to figure out the coordinates, using the formulas below.

North Coordinates: 41° 17. (659 - x)

West Coordinates: 90°16. (766 + y)

Please park safely, bring your own pen, and enjoy!
