Geocache Description:

The cache is a micro with two logs inside. Bring your own pen. The title is the hint that will help you to know you're at the correct grave sites as well as finding the actual cache.

Please be respectful of your surroundings and cache only in the DAYLIGHT.

"Historical Paxtang Cemetery Association was established in 1898 on what used to be known as the Thomas Rutherford Farm on South Progress and Paxtang Aves. There are 33 + beautiful acres of rolling hills, gentle slopes and level lands. 12 of the acres are undeveloped and are surrounded by the Green Belt. There have been over 11,000 internments in the cemetery over the last 113 years and room for another 12,000 in ground burials."

This is a beautiful place to walk and pay your respects. Please keep this in mind while caching. If you park near the first location, you should make a nice loop around a section of the cemetery and end up back near your car.

Directions:
While at stage 1, fill in the blanks to take you to stage 2: N40 15.ABC W076 4D.D5B
A = 3rd digit of Lynn's year of death
B = 3rd digit of Ruby's year of death
C = 4th digit of Lynn's year of birth
D = 2nd digit of Ruby's year of birth

While at stage 2, you will need to gather some information to take you to stage 3: N40 15.ABC+E W076 5x(D+F).C33
E = 30 + the number of letters in Ms. Greenwood's first name
F = 1st digit in the year on the grave stone

While at stage 3, gather the information to take you to the final cache location: N40 15.ABC+E+G W076 4D.DHH
G = The last two digit's of Emory's year of birth REVERSED
H = 4th digit of Emory's year of death

Good luck!

CONGRATS TO SAMMYDOGS, AIRNUT, PAMAP, DWIGHT45, and SEEKERS FOUR for the FTF as a group. Glad you were able to work around the wrong coordinates for stage two and make the find! (They're corrected now.)
