Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. They will bring you to a large micro which will hold the clue to finding the final. This cache is NOT a stop and grab. Please be respectful of the residents, both in the cemetery and locally while here. Parking is available for a single car here and roadside for the final.

Sensabaugh Cemetery, located along Canborough Road, almost at the intersection with Robinson Road, just outside the Niagara Region is our first stop.

I have driven past this place and many others in the area hundred’s of times. I had planned on placing a cache here, but have taken a vow of “NEVER A MICRO” … so this is my version of a “Restin’ in ….” with a twist.

Many Cemeteries I have visited are just drive up caches, and don’t get me wrong, they are fun, but I though, how can I cause cachers to slow down and realize just how peaceful these places can really be…. Ahhh.. . there the seed of this idea was planted.

Now, if I were a farmer I would have had no harvests for a lot of years, because that was where the seed stayed, and stayed and stayed…. Until it finally sprouted and blossomed into this….

Like it, hate it, here it is….

Once you have found the clue, it will lead you to a specific stone in this cemetery. Now all you need to do is a little math… (everyone loves math). Please unscrew the bottom of the micro only to remove the clue, and replace it in the bottom and screw it back in to re hide.

Take Victor’s Date of Birth and convert the month to a number (Jan = 1, Feb = 2…) and the remaining numbers in his birth date as they appear on the stone (this should give you a 7 digit number with a checksum of 22). Record this number as “A”

Take “Tootsie’s” Date of Birth and convert the month to a number (Jan = 1, Feb = 2…) and the remaining numbers in her birth date as they appear on the stone (this should give you a 6 digit number with a checksum of 31). Record this number as “B”

Now multiply A x B to get “C” (a 12 digit number with a checksum of 52)

Take the first 6 digits of C and ADD them to these random coordinates: N36 43 107 (ignoring any decimal places)

Take the last 6 digits of C and ADD them to these random coordinates: W070 28 571 (ignoring any decimal places)

Go get the final... it’s that easy.
