DinaWorks: The traditional that contains the coordinates for this puzzle keeps going missing so Wheels00 and I have decided to archive the pair. Thanks to all who visited.

Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. While we encourage you to visit this historical cemetery if it is open when you are here, there is no need to enter its gates to hunt this cache.

This is one of a pair of caches celebrating one of the most prolific cachers of our time and one of our favorites.

Rather than another silver ammo can in the woods, we thought it would be best to celebrate one of j3yoda's many milestones by giving him the cherry on top of a perfect caching day. As much as he loves running through the forests, day and night, we know that no caching day is complete for j3yoda without visits to two places.

In order to get the coordinates for this second location, you must first visit S.L.A.P. - Celebrating j3yoda's 8000th, about 2.5 miles away.

We are on the hunt for more historical information about Union Ridge Cemetery. One website indicates that there is a book of historical Chicago cemetery records that lists the Civil War burials here, as well as the early settlers of Cook County. The cemetery is located in the Union Ridge neighborhood of Norwood Park, one of 77 well-defined Chicago communities. Union Ridge is bounded by Bryn Mawr, Foster, Nagle, and Harlem Avenues.

Please show the utmost respect while searching for this cache. We would hate if over zealous geocachers contributed in any way to the further deterioration of nearby architectural elements.

Of course, honorary pre-publication FTF goes to j3yoda. Congratulations to early19713 for his FTF as well!
