This is a micro cache so no room for any swag. Bring your own writing implement.
A medium sized 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.
Start at the flagpole and go 25 feet northeast. Use the bottom name on the white obelisk
Now go 60 feet north of the flag to a grey obelisk. Use the most western facing name.
Find an obelisk with a cross on top and use the person you find there.
Sum up the dates and subtract 9257762 to determine Latitude for the cache location
Thirty feet south and a little east of the flag is a grey obelisk with a flat top. Use the name you find there.
Look east from the flag and you will see twin grey obelisks. Use the name on the southern one
In the southeastern corner area find an old stone with a modern one of a member of Vienna Fire Company Number 1
Sum up the dates and subtract 1790952 to determine Longitude for the cache location which is a short drive away.
The final is very close to active railroad tracks. There is safe parking within 5 feet of the final. You should not cross the tracks for any reason. Please keep children and pets away from the tracks.
