Geocache Description:

Oakwood Cemetery is located on Grand River between Farmington Road and Gill Road. The posted coordinates are the starting point for the Wherigo cartridge. The coordinates of the geocache will be provided when the cartridge is completed. Parking is available at the cemetery. The posted hours of the cemetery are 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.


You are expected to physically sign the log sheet in order to log your find on-line.

This Wherigo cartridge will take you on a tour of Oakwood Cemetery visiting various grave markers, typically providing some history of the person and the Farmington area. At each grave marker you will be asked a question you will need to answer before proceeding to the next stop. At the end you will be provided the coordinates for the geocache. The cache is a magnetic nano container. Snow on the ground may make two of the tasks more difficult to complete.

Wherigo™ Cache - Large IconWherigo is a way of using a GPS to play games, take tours and geocache. Visit Wherigo.com to learn more about this type of caching. You will need a GPS unit that supports Wherigo cartridges. Alternatively there apps for for iPhone, Android and Pocket PC. Wherigos are prone to crashing, without saving progress. Please be sure to save your progress often.

To find this geocache you will need to download the cartridge. The cartridge was last updated on 19 January 2013. The current version is 1.0.

Thanks to CaptainObvious78 and The Frito Bandito for testing this cartridge prior to publication.

Unlocking the cartridge on Wherigo.com is not required, but would still be appreciated. You can type in the completion code provided at the end of the cartridge. If it is longer than fifteen characters, use only the first fifteen. Alternatively, you can upload the save file to the Wherigo site. The location of the "gws" may vary depending on what you are using to play the cartridge. Please remember to log your adventure on the Wherigo site, too.

Please be sure to restore the cache to its hiding place in a similar condition and not too obvious. You will need a log extractor. Please bring your own pencil or pen.

I have found that a quick and simple log extraction tool can be made from a small paperclip. Straighten one end out. Grab just a small portion (maybe 1/32 of an inch or 1 millimeter) with a long-nose or needle-nose pliers then bend it at a right angle.
