Geocache Description:

A fairly easy field puzzle which will take you to some interesting stones in three historic cemeteries in Rehoboth. All three cemeteries are right next to each other, so it shouldn't take you that long to walk to all three and get the required information. Some of you may recall finding a previous cache of ours on on the gate for Historic Cemetery #43 a few years ago. Please bring your own writing utensil to sign the log with.

It is suggested that you complete the cache by visiting the cemeteries in the order below. You can do them in any order you want, but doing them in such an order will keep the backtracking to a minimum. The final cache can be found at the following coordinates: North 41 AE.ADB West 71 BD.CBF.

RHC 44

In Rehoboth Historical Cemetery #45, locate the gravestone of Wheaton Pierce and note the year he died, which should be 186A.
RHC 45
After moving over to Historical Cemetery #44, locate the very elaborate stone of William Rockcliffe. After admiring the craftsmanship that went into making this stone, locate the date he was born, which was February 5th, B8CD.
RHC 43 
After moving across the street to Historical Cemetery #43, you will need to find a tall stone that has a few different people and dates on it. Locate the side of the stone in which Melinda Davis' name is engraved and note her age at the time of death. Her age will be digits EF in the final coordinates calculation.

Now you should have the coordinates for the final, which is very close by and should be an easy grab as many of you will be familiar with the container and hiding style. As mentioned before, please bring your own writing utensil and replace the cache as found! Also, permission was given by the Rehoboth Historical Society for this hide.

NOTE: Best parking location is after Cemetery #43 and on that side of the road.

You shouldn't have to, but just in case, you can check your coordinates using the following link: GeoChecker.com.
