Geocache Description:


This is a micro cache so no room for any swag.  Bring your own writing implement.

A large cemetery in Livingston 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.

Start at the “No Glass – Any Kind” sign.  50 feet west is someone with a maiden name of Ferguson.

Now go 40 feet northwest and find Mary.

Head east, across the road, and find a marker with the same last name as a US President. Use the bottom name on the east side

Sum up the dates and subtract 19108572 to determine Latitude for the cache location

Head south across another road and find a marker that looks like a tree.

Head south again, across another road, and find the Stroud marker. Use the bottom name on the marker just east of the Stroud marker

Moving west you cross another road.  Who is immediately south of the Wilbur marker?

Sum up the dates and subtract 14771051 to determine Longitude for the cache location which is a short walk away.

Please make sure you close the top tightly to keep things dry inside.
