Geocache Description:

This is simple two stage multi cache and another in my "Church in the Wildwood Series" or "CitWW:", which may be a little challenging to figure, find or, who knows, maybe both. You might call these ones the 'abridged' versions!!! Patience, you'll see... Mwhahahaha!

Small country cemeteries are absolutely amazing to me! Visiting them, is like stepping back into another time. Very kewl!


Historic-ally...

Zion Methodist Cemetery & Church is another pioneer cemetery and church used from the mid nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries.  It was also known as "Zion Hill Wesleyan Methodist Church and Cemetery". The church is now gone but the cemetery is still intact. It sits just off Wellington County Road 11.  A private lane way runs beside it.  Some restoration has been done to preserve the headstones and the integrity of the cemetery itself. It is a pretty special place amidst the modern day life.

Puzzl-ingly...

At posted coordinates, you will find a plaque. On the plaque, there is four dates in the form ABCD ADEF ADFG ADEG. Figure the values of the variables and solve the final. The final will be found using the following formula -- (G)(E)(F+C+A)(E)(C-A)(2C-A)(E+A)(CD/(F+G))(B-A)(C) -- which when solved will give you a 10 digit number. You will have to do what makes sense to massage this these digits into final coords. The final is within 3 km of the cemetery. Have at it!!! ;)

Parking-ly...

It is recommended to park across the road on Concession 14 as it should be the safest place for you and your vehicle. Pulling over on Wellington County 11 may be dangerous as the site is in a valley and cars coming over the hill may not see you in time as you pull out. There is a private lane-way running beside the cemetery, but this is private and is not recommended.
