Geocache Description:

The “Restin’ in” caches are a series that will take you to local cemeteries. From pioneers to modern people, these places are full of interesting historical information. While you are here, please feel free to take the time to walk around and visit with the past, yet please respect where you are. Taking a few moments to read the information that went onto the stonework will ensure that these individuals will not be forgotten.



This is a simple three-stage multi that will take you to a couple of general monuments where you will need to collect information and do some simple math.  The posted coordinates are not for the final stage. If you do not like cemeteries, you will not enjoy this cache.


Please no night caching.


 

The posted coordinates will take you to a monument where you will decipher half of the coordinates for the final.  The North coordinates of the final are N43 09.ABC where:

A = difference between the dates found on the maple leaf

B = 4th digit of the first date on the plaque on the left-hand side of the monument

C = difference between the years on the right-hand side of the monument

 

Stage 2 is located at N43 09.685 W079 12.147 and is included as a waypoint. It will provide you with the second half of the final coordinates.  The West coordinates of the final are W079 11.DEF where:

D = sum of the first two digits in the year the cemetery originated

E = dedication day minus dedication month

F = number of grape bunches on one side of the monument

 

You now have complete coordinates for the final.  The cache container is a camo'd peanut butter jar with dollar store swag and other trinkets.  Please rehide cache as found or better.

 

Happy caching!
