Geocache Description:

This field puzzle will take you to two historic cemeteries on Old Gardners Neck Road in Swansea. You will have to do a little exploring in the two cemeteries, which are located right near each other and separated by the back entrance to a fire station, to get information needed to locate the final cache. Once you have gotten the needed information, you'll be looking for a typical 4Swans' micro cache and will need to bring your own writing utensil. 


Cache is located at N 41° AB.CDE and W 071° FG.HIJ
