Geocache Description:

Plano is a ghost town along Rt. 66, a few miles northwest of this geocache,  It was built in 1902, before the Mother Road existed by John S. C. Jackson.  It became a general store that was run by his son, Alfred C. Jackson and other family members.  This multi will take you to visit the Jacksons in their final resting place.


You will start at the grave of Alfred Jackson.  Alfred, his wife Pearl and their daughters lived on the second floor of the old rock building at Plano.  Since you are starting at Alfred's reddish grave marker, answer this question:

Where is Alfred's wife, Pearl, entombed?

If Pearl is entombed in Republic, Missouri, then AAA = 630

If Pearl is entombed in Ontario, Canada, then AAA = 330

If Pearl is entombed in Ontario, California, then AAA = 030

Now that you have that answer, walk exactly 190 feet due north of Alfred (same row) and  you will find a very large dark grey grave marker for John S. C. Jackson and his wife.  Answer this question:

The stone just to the east of that large marker has a name that is a color.

If the stone says Black, then BBB = 349

If the stone says White, then BBB = 649

If the stone says Green, then BBB = 949

Now, fill in these coordinates:  N37 08.AAA   W093 30.BBB

Then proceed to the final location.  You are looking for an oval metal disk, about 5 inches in diameter. You will need to bring your own pencil since there might not be one.

Since you will be visiting a cemetery, no night caching please.  Also if services are in progress, please try another time.
