Geocache Description:

This puzzle can be solved by taking a short stroll through one of the more interesting cemeteries in Buncombe County. The cache is located a very short walk from the entrance to the cemetery.


The listed coordinates bring you to the main cemetery sign. In order to solve the puzzle you must walk through the cemetery taking note of information that can be found on objects located inside. It shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes to find all of the information and the cache.

The actual coordinates of the cache are:

N 35° 34. ABC
W 82° 37. DEF

A = the middle two digits in the copyright year on Baby Boxer

B = the number of metal frogs in the band [The frogs might be gone. There were 3.]

C = the number of pockets on the front of the saluting soldier's jacket

D = the number of times the word "CEMETERY" appears on the main sign

E = the last number of the Psalm passage quoted on the bench

F = the total number of I's, Ns, and R's in the full name of the sculptor responsible for the rider and horse

CHECKSUM: A + B + C + D + E + F = XY; X + Y = 4

The cemetery is only open during daylight hours. Parking is available along a short lane near the entrance to the cemetery just off of Asheville School Road. The container is white. The log is orange. Enjoy!
