Geocache Description:


Location: Old St. Peter's Catholic Cemetery

Hidden, on a rainy spring afternoon. Time to get this one into action.

Cache is NOT inside or on Cemetery grounds but the final is not to far away.

At the posted coordinates you should look around. Specifically, you are looking for J. Becker's resting place.
He was a Private in the military. Specifically, attached to the 2nd Minnesota Infantry that was organized at Fort Snelling, Minnesota and mustered in by companies for three years service beginning June 26, 1861, under the command of Colonel Horatio P. Van Cleve. You will need to focus on his marble marker for some specific details.

Answer the following questions:

  • A = # Month Private Becker was Born (Month MINUS 4 = A)
  • B = # Day Private Becker was Born (Day MINUS 4 = B)
  • C = # Month Private Becker Died (Month PLUS 3 = C)
  • D = # Private Becker Died in the year 18#0. Replace the # and ADD 1 for D
  • E = # Convert the "Company" that Private Becker served with to a number. (CO# MINUS 1 = E)
  • F = # Infantry Unit (UNIT MINUS 2 = F)

Now for some quick and hopefully simple math.

N45 02 . A B C
W93 48 . D E F

That is all there is to it. You are seeking a winter friendly micro container.
