Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES

 

The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project started in Indiana ( GCHRFJ ) to distinguish caches that are set in cemeteries. The idea has since spread throughout the Midwest and elsewhere. Iowa cache owners are joining in as of 2009, with the designation IaSQ prefixing their cache names. As elsewhere, this is a voluntary effort to help designate and highlight these special areas.

Do not hunt for this cache at night, if mourners are present do not disturb them, and please leave this peaceful and in good condition.

Hours are sunrise to sunset

 

To solve the puzzle, the given coordinates will take you to the grave of Luella Middlebrook. On that marker is some information on Luella that will be used to solve the following:
  • On which day of the month did Luella die? The second digit in that day = A
  • What was Luella's age, in years, when she passed away? The last number in that digit = B
  • In what year did Luella die? Subtract 4 from the last digit of that year = C
  • What is the initial of Luella's spouses first name? Convert that letter to a number = D
The final is located at: N 43 27.00A W 092 00.BCD

 

Good luck and happy caching!
