A simple offset in a historic cemetery near the village of Arkell. Log only cache, no trade items.
The posted co-ordinates bring you to a historic plaque. It has information needed to locate the final.
=================================================
Although small, the village of Arkell has a long history. Many of the pioneer families in this area, such as the Starkeys and the Arkells have family members resting here.
As with many of these small rural cemeteries, a short walk among the stones is a mini history lesson. As you visit, take a few moments to read and reflect on the lives of those who made the first attempts to carve out a living in this part of Puslinch Township.
As with any other Bone-Yard cache, please tread respectfully. Recommended parking is at the small chapel building.
TO FIND THE CACHE:
The co-ords will bring you to a small plaque at the site of the original church on these grounds.
1) Using the information at the posted co-ords, how many years did it take to finish construction of the original building at this spot? Substitute this value for "A" in the calculation below.
2) How many years elapsed between the closure of the building (at the new location) and the final demolition? Substitute this for "B" in the calculation below.
N43 and W80 are assumed so focus on the decimal portion....
North Final = [Posted] + (A/1000)
West Final = [Posted] - ((B x 11)/1000)
Final is located within the cemetery grounds. Toonie goes to the FTF!
