Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates and is available from dawn until dusk.

Calvary Cemetery has always held a special place in my heart.  I have several relatives buried here including my dad.  When I started to contemplate locations for a new geocache, this cemetery came to mind.  The next question was where to place it....

Go to the posted coordinates to find the correct headstone.  When facing this headstone, Gary will be on your left.  Willard and Elsie Mae will be behind you.  Once you find the correct headstone follow these instructions to get to the cache location:

 

To find the last three digits for the North coordinates, add the last two digits of the year of birth to get X.

Then solve this math problem:  X!/2 + 50

 

To find the last three digits of the West coordinates, add up all four digits of the year of death to get Y.

Then solve this math problem:  Y2 + 5! + 120

 

The final location is N 43 39.??? W 083 56.???

 

Also, please log all of your thoughts and pictures while completing this challenge.  If you don't know what "!" means in a math problem, please Google it.  Good Luck!
