Geocache Description:


To find this cache, you must have found the 5 Adventure Lab Caches in and around Newark and taken note of the bonus information.

The information needed for this cache is different than the information needed for the Lab Caches.

Not sure what a Lab Cache is or how to view it? That's because you need a seperate app. The app is still made by Groundspeak and it is connected to your Geocaching account. You can ONLY log a Lab Cache through this app. Wherever you download your apps from, search for Adventure Lab.

The final location of this cache highlights another area of Newark that was heavily involved in the Civil War.

The Lab Cache locations can be done in any order but look out for the following infomation:

20 metres away from the Lab Cache information is a tulip tree. Look at the presentation plaque in front of the tree and the day the tree was planted. This is A.

On the dedication plaque, take note of the third digit of the year in which the bodies were moved to this spot. This is B.

Next to the location is an alleyway. How many letters in the name before Yard (not including the apostrophe S). This is C.

How many letters in the last word on the plaque in the middle of the houses? This is D.

Find the grave of Edward Marshall. Half the day he died. The first number is E. The second number is F.

 

Put the missing digits into this formula: N 53 04. E F D    W 000 49. A B C

 

At that location, you will find an unusual sculpture with a date on it. Take a note of the date.

The final cache location can be found at: N 53 04. (2073 - DATE)    W 000 49. (2251 - DATE)

 

If you find this cache, well done! And I hope you enjoyed a tour of Newark and a small part of the Civil War history.
