Geocache Description:

INDIAN SPRING CEMETERY


Indian Spring Cemetery is the second oldest cemetery in Charlotte County Florida, dating back to the mid-1880s. There are several prominent Founders and City fore-fathers interned in this cemetery as listed on the historical landmark sign.

This multi-cache will take you to the historical marker and two grave markers that you will need to gather the required information from then use it to complete the longitude and latitude to reveal the final coordinates of the actual cache container.
The final cache location is not within the internment grounds; however, it is accessible from within the cemetery as-it is located near its perimeter.

The initial posted coordinates of “N 26° 53.352 W 082° 00.868” will take you to the Historical Marker near the entrance of the cemetery. You may drive your vehicle though the cemetery; please be careful as the actual road-ways are sparsely marked and nothing is paved. You’ll see what I mean when you arrive.

 

1- On the historical marker, what is the number given as verified interments at the cemetery?
That answer, adding the four-digits together will be “A” in the Final Coordinates.

2- Now you will need to go to Waypoint #1.  What day/date was Frances, wife of Norman born on?
That answer will be the “B” in the Final Coordinates.

N 26° 5B.2CC W 082° 0.9AB

3- Now you will need to go to waypoint #2. What was the age of Alberta Cleaver upon her passing?
Add "55" to her age. That answer, will be the “CC” in the Final Coordinates.

N 26° 5B.2CC W 082° 0.9AB

Final Coordinates/Cache location equals N 26° 5B.2CC W 082° 0.9AB.
