Boothill Graveyard, located in Tombstone, Arizona, is the final resting spot for over 250 people. Buried there are children, housewives, painted ladies, outlaws, gamblers, miners, business men and women, blacksmiths, cowboys and those “who died with their boots on”. Many of them are unknown. Most of the occupants died in the early 1880’s.

This cache is part of a Geoart series that is dedicated to the people who are buried in Boothill Graveyard. There are 188 people buried for whom at least some information is known. There is a cache for each of them. There is also a puzzle cache dedicated to the more than 70 people for whom there is no information known.

This cache is dedicated the more than 70 people for which there is no known information that are buried in the graveyard.

Hidden among the traditional caches of this Geoart are 10 pairs of letters and numbers. To determine the final coordinates first put the pairs in alphabetical order. Then place the numbers in the order thus created in the following:

N31 xx.xxx W110 xx.xxx

The difficulty rating is due to the need to find the 10 pairs of letters and numbers.

The best approach is off of Arizona 82 at N31 41.821 W110 18.285. The road should be passable by all vehicles unless it has rained recently.

The entire Geoart is located on Arizona State Trust Land. A valid ASTL Recreation Permit is required for access. According to ASTL rules, vehicles must stay on existing roads.

After completing your caching day, be sure to visit Boothill Graveyard which is located about 13 miles away in Tombstone. There is no charge to visit it. Also worth a visit is the Fairbank Historic Townsite, which is on your way to Tombstone.
