Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates do not contain the final however you will be required to visit this Historical marker and record the oldest date to solve the puzzle. Next, you will have to proceed to the second Historical marker (way point) and do the same. The final is at:

N 42 05.AAA (aaa= last three digits of oldest date at first stop minus 226)

W 076 03.BBB (bbb=last three digits of oldest date at second stop minus 226)
 

This cache is part of my Historical/Educational series. It replaces my SUDOKU puzzle cache at this cemetery

 

Allow me to provide a little background on this historic site. First of all cemeteries (with very few exceptions) in this country are considered public property and visitors are always welcome (and even encouraged) provided they are respectful. In addition, this cemetery is one of, if not the very oldest, in Broome county. I am sure you have heard of the Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC. Well this cemetery contains the remains of veterans who most likely fought with General Washington to drive the British out of Boston. Others may have suffered the cruel winter with him at Valley Forge where he saved the first Capitol of the Continental Congress. Some of those buried at this site were interred before there was a United States of America.
