Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the posted coordinates, but parking close to them would be a good idea.  This series of easy caches continues.  This time you get a cemetery cache and a field puzzle in one!  To find the coordinates to the cache location you will need to take a short walk around the cemetery and gather numbers from three locations (coords given as add'l waypoints).  It would be a good idea to avoid this cache while church services are going on. Also, as this is a cemetery no night caching allowed and please be respectful.

The cache is located at: N 39 35.ABC W 75 46.DEF

At the first stop look for a heart shaped tombstone for Ms. Henry located in back of the church.
