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.

Once in West Pike Cemetery look for the headstones of the Laulunen family. There are two upright headstones at the given coordinates.

The final coordinates that you are seeking are N 47° 3A.BB9 W 092° 25.CDD

A = the number of stones both upright and flat on the ground with the last name Laulunen on them

Jill died in 19XX; XX + 1 = BB

Find the shared husband and wife stone with roses on it. Count the number of letters in either the husband's or wife's first name = Y; Y+1=C

You are looking for a stone that I would select for obvious reasons. Richard was ZZ years old when he died. ZZ-12 = DD,

Checksum: A+B+B+C+D+D= 28


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.
