This is a micro cache so no room for any swag. Bring your own writing implement.
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 markers and make note of the dates of death listed.
Find the metal plaque about two feet off the ground at the eastern edge
Find the pillar by the big tree in the northeast quadrant. The name faces west
In the central area, one stone faces south and is leaning against another
Sum up the dates and subtract 19265822 to determine Latitude for the cache location
Now find the following stones and make note of the dates listed.
Find the “James” who is almost covered by bushes at the front of the cemetery
From the stone above, go about 40 feet north northeast and find Ira.
In the southwest quadrant, find the PFC from World War 1
Sum up the dates and subtract 4796521 to determine Longitude for the cache location
