This virtual cache is the grave of the pioneer who is the subject of the Virtually Cowtown V: Pioneer cache.
In order to determine the latitude for this cache, decrypt the name used to solve the Virtually Cowtown V: Pioneer cache by using the following table:

|
C=3
|
D=2
|
E=0
|
F=5
|
G=0

The latitude is N32º _ _ . _ _ _.
To determine the longitude, take the year used to solve Virtually Cowtown V: Pioneer, and divide by 89.031
The longitude is W97º _ _ . _ _ _.
For instance, if the name is Nixon, and the year is 1973, your latitude would be N32º 32.903 (NIXON decrypts to 32903), and your longitude would be W97º 22.161 (1973 divided by 89.031 = 22.161). Note: This is just an example, don't actually go to these coordinates, unless you want to see a stock pond near Crowley.
Verification requirements modified on November 9, 2008
I have added an optional second method to verify your find.
The original method:
Your password to verify finding this site is the name on the grave to the immediate right (south) of the grave of the subject of the Virtually Cowtown V: Pioneer cache. Eliminate all spaces and punctuation, and use lower-case letters.
Once you have the password,email it to me to verify your find.
New (optional) method added 11/9/2008:
Post a photo of yourself with the grave in the image below in the background with your log. Make sure the name on the grave is not shown. No email necessary.
If I do not receive an email or a photo in the log, I reserve the right to delete your log! As with most virtual caches, you are expected to PHYSICALLY visit the site to log a find. Internet searches and other 'remote' methods of locating the information do not qualify. Also, no "retroactive" finds based on visits before the cache was created.
