Geocache Description:


HSMC #1: Erie Canal Inn's Burying Grounds

Or Historical Sign Marker Cache

 

Quick background story of the series’ development.

One day garserio and I were caching and we passed by one of these signs.  We looked at each other and were thinking the same thing... We should start a puzzle series of these signs!  It wasn’t until a couple months later that I figured out Medicineman and DNTOKENS had the same idea. But, that won’t stop us from continuing this type of puzzle. We also have a slightly different idea for it to make it unique from theirs.  These should be relatively easy puzzle caches that are for cachers, like me, who are absolutely terrible at solving puzzles. We will try to make most of these hides a walking distance away (.1 mi- .5 mi).  They should be in urban areas and not too deep into a hiking trail. The walk will not take more than an hour. This will be a continuously on-going series. My ultimate goal is to get one out every month. I hope you guys will enjoy these nice, easy puzzles to get your numbers up!

The posted coords will bring you to the sign and then you will have to answer these questions.  This First one is a bit different, you will need to visit 2 signs to answer the questions.

Questions:

(Posted coords)

Q1)  What society opened the cemetery?  Take the first letter of each word of the name of the society.

Q2)  What year was the cemetery reorganized as a Greenvale Cemetery?

(Other Waypoint)

Q3)  Who erected it in 1822?

Q4)  This location housed Perinton's first what?

Once you have your answers, put them in order of the questions without spaces.  For example, if your answer for Q1 was Pink, and for Q2 was elephant, and Q3 was telephone, then your answer that you will put into certitude would be pinkelephanttelephone.

No caps or spaces.  All numbers remain numbers, no need to spell them out.  If your answer has two or more words, just get rid of the spaces. 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congrats to DeltaDelta1 and no-sleep for FTF.

Congrats to DeltaDelta1 for FTS.
