Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it is a good starting place to work this simple field puzzle. This our first field puzzle cache so be gentle with us. Greenwood Cemetery has a number of the male half of the 2Nutz Team family members that either are resting here or will be. 


The coordinates given below will take you several grave sites. You do not have to visit them in any particular order, but they are fairly far apart so you will probably want to drive. All and the final are inside the cemetery. You will need to record all dates given on the the headstones you visit.

At N32 45.806 W097 21.816 you are looking for the headstone Rudean Elizabeth Millsap. She is my Aunt on my Mother's side. You can see from the birth & death date she passed as a baby.

For the coordinates N32 45.640 W097 22.083 you will find the headstones of Samuel M and Rosa M Millsap. They are my maternal Grandparents. Also interred here are the ashes of my uncle, J S Millsap, Rosa and Samuel's Son.

At N32 45.800 W097 22.176 is the headstone of my parents Lavern and Evah Tate. My Mother's name is on there even though she has not passed yet. Also is the headstone of my Nephew, Brandon.

To solve for the final you will need to answer the following questions to get some numbers for the coordinates in N32 AB.CDE W097 FG.HIJ

The month Brandon was born = A
The Day of Vern's passing = B
C = the day Rosa was born
Last digit of the year S M Millsap was born = D
E = the month Evah was born
F = the month Elizabeth was born
The last digit of the year that Rudean passed = G
The last digit of year J S Millsap was born = H
The last digit of the year that Rudean was born + the month that she passed = I
J = the last digit of the year of Brandon's birth

Now as we stated when you have all of these numbers plug them into the below:

N 32 AB.CDE W097 FG.HIJ

Hopefully you will be lead to the final. You are searching for micro-sized container with a log only. Please bring your own writing tool and replace the cache exactly as you found it so as not to spoil it for the next cacher. The cemetery hours are from dawn to dusk, so please no night caching. Please be respectful of this place. There is a $5.00 FTF prize.
Happy hunting!!
