Geocache Description:

A lost little cache. What's its story?

We took this mysterious cache into foster care to get it activated. Near as we could tell it was dropped in 2008, but never listed! Poor little thing! I'll be happy to adopt it out to the original hider if they drop me a line. Not trying to hijack anyone's cache, just getting it in the game.

Great minds think alike. While out with DJHobby and Ponce de Geone on a cache run we decided to check on the old Elkinsville Cemetery. A unique marker got us thinking about a mathematical offset. With a plan in mind we started looking for a spot for the final. Examining a likely candidate, what should we find but a little lost orphan cache, presumably placed by "Laurette" some time in 2008, but never listed! The very old log book actually had one signature on it, but that was from someone who found it by accident while taking a pee!

(Note: DJHobby suggested Laurette55 as the most likely person to contact regarding this mystery cache. Turns out she didn't hide it, but is pretty sure she knew who did. In any event, its good to go!)

The listed coordinates get you to a spot where you can park near a nice picnic shelter. Somewhere in the cemetery the following will make sense... maybe.

"Buried where found on a hill back of the old Browning School"

Compass heading: Big George x Uriah + Job + (William x Pleasant) + (Job x Pleasant) = ______ degrees.

Distance: Big George x Job x (William +Pleasant + George) = _______ feet
