Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Rural Repose series.


The coordinates for Rural Repose - The Final Destination can be determined by gathering the necessary information from each of the ten other caches in the series. Pay close attention to the individual cache pages to learn what to seek at each location. This is not a cache & dash endeavor; it will take a fair amount of driving and a bit of time to explore the various cemeteries.


For all the multis in this series you will see the number you need on the lid and/or on the log of the cache.

.

The East Pike Cemetery like many of the cemeteries that are in this series have people buried in them who are of Nordic ancestry especially Finnish.


As you drive into the cemetery Go north on the center road towards the building (where the GC waypoint places you), look only at the vertical gravestones all along the right (east) side of the road. You will see a number of last names ending in A.

AA = The number of last names ending in A plus 25

Count only the vertical gravestones on all along the right side of the road (east) that has a last name that ends in I. There is one double last name. Count that one, too.

II = the number of last names ending in I minus 5. Only count the names that are facing the road that you are on when counting both the "A"s and the "I"s

Put the numbers into these coordinates N 47° 39.AA0 W 092° 22.II6


Please be respectful and sensitive to the privacy of others during your time in the cemetery. No cache will be located at a grave site. Some may require a short bushwhack. As per the rules of most cemeteries, please limit your visit to daylight hours.
