Geocache Description:


In Memory Of

Location: Saint Peter Calvary Cemetery

Delano was platted in 1868, and named after Francis Roach Delano, a railroad official. A post office has been in operation at Delano since 1870. Delano was incorporated in 1876. Three buildings in the town are on the National Register of Historic Places: the 1880s Eagle Newspaper Office, the 1888 Delano Village Hall, and the 1893 Simon Weldele House.

OK so enough history, interesting that it is, now for what you will need to do to figure out the final location.

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

You are looking for those "In Memory Of".

At the posted coordinates you will find a great spot to park the cache mobile. Once that is done you should also be right in front of bench. Who is that Bench "In Memory Of"? This is a two word answer.

If you look up the hill from the posted coordinates, you will see some white statues. Head up the hill and find out who the "standing" Statues are "In Memory Of"? This is a two word answer.

Now for some quick and hopefully simple math.

Answer the following questions:

  • Bench Plaque
  • A = # of letters in 1st and 2nd word MINUS 5.
  • B = # of letters in 2nd word.
  • C = # of letters in 1st word.

  • Statue Marker
  • D = # of letters in 1st and 2ndword MINUS 10.
  • E = # of letters in 1st word PLUS 2.
  • F = # of letters in 2nd word PLUS 1.

N45 01 . A B C
W93 47 . D E F

Checksum = 38

That is all there is to it. You are seeking a regular size container.
