Geocache Description:

Welcome to Burke Cemetery, one of the easiest Multi-caches you'll ever find!

'Daylight Caching Only', please - and as is befitting of the environment, please be respectful of those around you - you're on their grounds now.

Congrats to 'Nacho Mama' for being FTF!!


Burke Cemetery, established in 1867 (and still active today)...

When we originally published this cache, we had thought about naming it "Uphill, Both Ways!" because back then, there was no easy way to get here - but that's all changed now! This area has seen a major amount of redevelopment, yet this historical cemetery remains in place!

The coordinates above will take you to the entrance to this cemetery where you'll find an informational marker that was placed in 1984. The first year that is listed in the text on the marker.. is your key to the next/final stage of this geocache. For example, if the year on the marker was 1932, 'A' would be 1, 'B' would be 9, 'C' would be 3, and 'D' would be 2.

The final stage is located at:

N32 41.X3C

W097 24.Z1B

... where X=A+B and Z=B-D

....

No climbing required - daylight hours only - please replace everything exactly as you found it. Good Luck!
