Geocache Description:

The published coordinates are for the cemetery entrance, and not the cache container location not the place you need to begin.

This could have been listed as a puzzle or a multi. Because there is no work to be done in advance, I chose multi but added the field puzzle attribute.

Please be respectful of the area. Also, do NOT seek this cache after dark.

On this cache page is a photo of the area. You will need this photo with you when you go to find this cache. So either use your smart phone or print off the photo before leaving your house/work. A printed page will be easier to see than a smart phone screen.

Using the photo, walk around until you have the exact same view that is depicted in the photo. Got it?
Ok, next study both the photo and real life. There is something that exists in real life that is missing from the photo. You need to identify that item.

Once you have identified the missing item, go to it. You will use dates from that headstone to complete the simple math below to get the coordinates of the cache.

N 35 3A.[year of death - 1231]
W 078 4B.[year of birth - 983]

A=Day of birth
B=Day of death + 4
