This is a micro cache so no room for any swag. Bring your own writing implement. Also, it is located a short drive away so don’t be surprised.
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.
I was touched by some of the epitaphs. “When this you see, remember me. Behold the glass that runs for thee”
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.
John Brown 3/23/____
Asa Denison 8/20/____
Vesta Brown 10/08/____
Sum up the dates and subtract 17264671 to determine Latitude for the cache location
Now find the following stones and make note of the dates listed.
Sarah Mead 10/02/____
Ahira Danison 6/03/____
Ann Brown 5/03/____
Sum up the dates and subtract 13351219 to determine Longitude for the cache location
