Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

The listed coords will lead you to Green Cemetery, specifically, the grave markers of the Heikkila family. Oscar and Lydia Heikkila immigrated to the U.S. from Jyvaskyla, Finland in 1907, settling in the Green area and becoming active in the local logging industry. The final cache can be found by examining their markers, along with that of their youngest daughter, Eva Magdelena Cusack.

The cache is at: N. 46 50. ABC W. 089 26.DEF

A = The third digit in the year Eva Magdelena was born
B = The second digit in the year Oscar was born
C = The last digit the year of Oscar’s death
D = The fourth digit in the year Anna Lydia was born
E = The last digit in the year Anna Lydia died
F = The third digit in the year Anna Lydia was born

The cache is not located in, on, or around any grave markers, thus there should be no need to trample or otherwise disturb the residents. Please be respectful, and cache during daylight hours only.

I, Krymdog, the grandson of Eva Magdelena Cusack, do hereby grant permission to those wishing to cache at the family plot.
