Geocache Description:


The coordinates listed are not real, but they are very close. For the real coordinates, you'll need to do a bit of research on the cemetery that this is by: Cates Cemetery. Alternatively, all of these can be answered at the location itself (some headstones are faded so may be hard to read). The cemetery isn't listed on maps, but googling it shows you the spot it's at and gives you info on those buried here.

Please do not enter the cemetery! You do not need to go in the fenced area to read the headstones!

Real coordinates are: AB.CDEFG, -HI.JKLMN

AB = Last 2 digits of the year in which John W. Cates died + 1
CD = Last 2 digits of the year in which Amanda H. Cates died + 9
E = Last digit of the year in which Amanda H. Cates was born.
FG = How old Alpharetta L. Cates Oliver was when she died
HI = Middle 2 digits of the year in which Alice Cates Spence was born - 2
JK = First 2 digits of the year in which Lodewick M. Cates was born + 80
L = Last digit of the year in which Lodewick M. Cates died
MN = The number of letters in Lucinda Cates Mills epitaph (not including her name or the dates) - 4

Please don't move the cache as you can get to the log easily.

Parking is available at the neighborhood swimming pool.
