Now, it is time to take a short walk to the posted co-ordinates in the very oldest part of the Canmore Cemetery and find out the age at death of a certain fellow, who hailed from Torino. Once you have the required info just complete the simple calculation shown below to find the decimal part of the cache co-ordinates;
N=458 + AGE and W=578 + AGE
This part of the cemetery has only recently been cleaned up, including an attempt to locate all the graves. Most of the original markers where made of wood and have long since returned to “whence they came” along with those they marked. Many of the graves are fenced as was once the custom. A few years ago this part of the cemetery was not being maintained for some reason unknown to me, indeed it was spooky and very Steven King “ish”. So, it was a nice surprise to find it all bushed out with a meandering path laid out among the somewhat randomly placed graves. It is an extremely interesting place well worth exploring. Go and visit the earliest residents of Canmore, ponder their lives and wonder of the stories they could tell.
Old & Interesting, but not the one
THE ACTUAL CACHE IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CEMETERY GROUNDS, it is a small LnL hanging low in a spruce and it is winter friendly. There isn’t any swag, just a log book, pencil and 24 finders cards as of May 26, 2014. Please note that the info needed to locate this cache can only be obtained during the day when the main gates to the cemetery are open.
