This is a micro cache so no room for any swag. Bring your own writing implement. Also, the final cache location is a short hike from the cemetery to a tranquil and scenic spot. There is an obvious trail to it so no bushwacking is needed. That said, the trail can be tricky and is steep in parts so be careful navigating to the final location.
A small cemetery in Ontario County. 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 dates of death listed.
