Geocache Description:


As the name suggests, this cache is located in Holy Cross Cemetery in West Detroit / East Dearborn.  Please be respectful of the area. 

The cemetery gates close at 7:30PM. 

This is a beautiful yet eerie cemetery where many of the religious figures attached to the headstones have deteriorated to the point where the faces are frightfully disfigured.

The google maps layout also looks strangely foreign.


The posted coordinates take you to the grave of Frances Zimny, one of the headstones that I saw online that intrigued me to visit this historical cemetery. 

To find the final container, you must add up all of the numbers on the headstone, divide this number by three, then subtract four. 

Subtract this number from the west and north coordinates to reach your destination. 

Be sure to take a look at the interesting headstone nearby with three white mysterious figures atop. 

Pictures are appreciated.
