Geocache Description:

This two stage multi will bring you to Chester Friends Cemetery in Westfield, IN.  You'll head to the marker of a Navy shipmate and then off to the final stage of this multi. People used to be able to access this cemetery directly from US 31. Now, however, THIS CEMETERY IS NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM US31. You'll need to approach from the west to get to the parking coordinates provided. NO NIGHT CACHING!


Shipmate - "In the United States Navy "shipmate" is most accurately a term used by anyone in the Navy to reference anyone else in the Navy." When I go caching in a cemetery, I usually look to see if there are any fellow Navy veterans taking their final rest. If there are, I usually take a picture and post it to my logs.

To get to stage 2, use the following problems to solve for a letter/number and then plug that number into the "formula" to get the coordinates for the second stage.


You will see eight numbers, from left to right signifying his birth year and year of death. Label them as follows ABCD EFGH

N 40 04.JKL W 086 07.MNK

J = C
K = A-E
L = H-D
M = G
N = F-C
