Geocache Description:

This is my first puzzle cache and hope you like it. The cache is not at the posted coordinates. These coordinates will bring you to the middle of the Muirside - Muir Family cemetery.


For some reason, I love graveyards and cemeteries. Some people are scared of them, but not me. You'll find answers all around the cemetery and park. There is parking on Maple Avenue South. The final cache is located at:

N 48 AB.CDE W 123 FG.HIJ

A = The 4th number of the year Emma M Welsh was born

B = What day in March did Edith J Muir die?

C = The 3rd number in the year in which Captain Walter Colquhoun Grant established a home in Sooke

D = The 4th number in the year the second sawmill to operate in BC was erected

E = How many years old was Myrtle Mesher when she died?

F = The 4th number in the year William J Welsh was born

G = The last number in the year John Muir died

H = What day in May was ‘The Stickleback (a legendary fish of Sooke) Memorial’ erected?

I = The 1st number in the year Mary Welsh died

J = The 2nd number in the year Matilda Muir died

 

When placing the final, the gps was quite bouncy, so the hint should help find the cache easily. You'll see a pile of scrap wood close by a log just over 1m long. You'll find the cache at one end covered in bark. I had fun putting it altogether and hope you have as much fun doing it. Happy caching!

CONGRATULATIONS to islandfinders and sole seeker for the shared FTF!
