A forgotten cemetery in Ontario County. Please park at the listed coordinates and be respectful of the neighbors property lines. Also, the final location might be a bit tough after wet weather. Bring your own writing implement.
No night caching please. Do not upset or disturb any markers or headstones. You do not need to move or touch any of them to collect the information needed. Gentle respect for the occupants is expected. Please don't bring animals or allow small children to run about. If you have your children with you, by all means have them help collect the information you need and use this as a learning experience for them about proper cemetery behavior.
Here is a cemetery cache with a little work involved. You have to locate certain headstones and use the dates to calculate the final cache location. When you have a date such as 1/1/2016 add the zero in the day field to yield the needed number (e.g. 1012016).
Find the following stones and make note of the date of death listed.
Aresty Beach 6/23/_______
Charles Crane 6/02/_______
James Blair 2/16/_______
Sum up the dates and subtract 10162423 to determine Latitude for the cache location
Now find the following stones and make note of the dates listed.
Peter Cater 3/13/_______
Mary Ann Hawley 2/03/_______
Alanson Gunn 2/02/_______
Sum up the dates and ADD 537952 to determine Longitude for the cache location
