Geocache Description:



Blackshear Geocaching Challenge
Retired August 31, 2021

This cache was previously part of a now retired geocaching challenge in Blackshear! For more information about the challenge, go to Geocaching in Blackshear.




Please... DO NOT attempt this cache at night. The final is on private property, but was placed with the permission of the land owner. There are now No Trespassing signs, but he assured me that geocachers are welcome. As always, please use caution in the woods during hunting season and take care of the area. The starting point of this cache is located in the cemetery for Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church. This is the oldest church in Pierce County. For more information, go to Pierce County Historical and Geneological Society: Shiloh Primitive Baptist. In addition to several who fought in the Civil War being buried here, the only known veteran buried in Pierce County from the American Revolutionary War is buried here as well. The posted coordinates will take you to his headstone.

He was born in 17A2.

Let A + 2 = B and let A - 3 = C.

The north coordinates are N 31 19.ABC.

He died in 18X1.

Let X + 4 = Y and let X - 5 = Z.

The west coordinates are W 82 13.XYZ.

Pay attention to how old he was when he died. I was surprised by this!

Permission was granted by the land owner. Please be respectful of the area and enjoy the cache!
