This geocache will tour you around a forgotten cemetery. There are some interesting tombstones, but also “unknown burials” here too. There is plenty of history here, but now it is easy to drive right past the cemetery without even noticing it.
The cemetery is at the posted coordinates.
To find the North coordinates, read the tombstones in the cemetery. Count how many times the word “reaper” can be found. Don’t bother searching in the mostly faded, illegible text. Add this to the North Posted: [(Reaper #) * 8] -1
For the West coordinates:
- What year did William Austin die? Take the 4th digit of the year.
- What year did Annie Austin die? Take the 4th digit of the year.
- What year did Ellen Austin die? Take the 4th digit of the year.
- What year did Olive May New die? Take the 4th digit of the year.
- In what year was John Story born? Take the year (entire number).
Add all 5 West answers together, divide by 1000, and add it to 11.959 for the West coordinates.
