This is a tribute cache for my friend Al Sturm. Al was a member of a threesome, made up of his wife, Marie and their best friend, Marilyn, that had many adventures geocaching. One of the best adventures was the time they had Al climbing a tree in Battle Creek the month after knee replacement surgery. Marie and Marilyn could not climb the tree but Al did. Getting out of the tree was interesting. Also, in a suit he stuck his head in the belly of a Giraffe. What a picture.
To solve this geocache you will need to go to posted coordinates and find Al's (Elbert Sturm) tombstone. You can get the answer for the final from the tombstone.
Final coordinates are N42 51. ABC W083 3D. EFG.
A.= 2nd digit in the year Al was born.
B= 1st digit in the day Al passed away.
C= Add the 1st and 2nd digits on the marker # on the back of Al's tombstone.
D= Number of letters in the last word on Al's tombstone.
E= Last digit in the year Al was born.
F= The number of letters in the month Al was born.
G= The third number on the back of Al's tombstone.
There is a TB that AL took with him to heaven.
The final is a short walk from parking area and is winter friendly.
Congrats to HelloLola and GEO-BUM for FTF
