Geocache Description:


CACHE DETAILS:
The cache is NOT at the listed coords!


This cemetery is named for the Parsons family.
- Benjamin Parsons donated the land that became the cemetery
- the gates, walls and entrances were a gift from Alison Parsons.
- George Parsons gave substantial endowment funds to the cemetery.

You will use information from 2 plaques to determine the final cache coords which are:
N 38° 22.NNN W 075° 35.WWW
Checksum for NNN and WWW = 32

Go to N 38° 22.494 W 075° 35.668 (RP1) At the Entrance to the cemetery look for a plaque on your right. Find the year (ABCD) that the walls, gates and entrances were erected.
ABCD - 1360 = NNN

Now go to N 38° 22.584 W 075° 35.849 (RP2) and locate another plaque. Find the year that Benjamin Parsons died (EFGH).
EFGH - 1035 = WWW
