This geocache is a field puzzle located at St. Mary’s Church Cemetery. It will take you on a short tour of the cemetery. Please do not attempt to do this cache at night. Lizards normally crawl around on the ground, but every 4 years they have an extra day to play, so they LEAP around all day and have fun. To start off, go to the flagpole near the fence opening at the listed cords above. There is a large parking lot right next to these coordinates to park in. Please be sure to park in a marked parking space.
1. From this starting point, look around and you should spot the grave of a famous Science Fiction/Horror author who wrote the book Fahrenheit 451. Well, it’s not exactly the grave of the famous writer, but it is someone with the same name. Head over to this grave and take a look at the tombstone. This person wasn’t a writer, but you should be able to figure out what his occupation was. When you figure that out, go to the coordinates for the correct answer below:
A. Welder Go to N 41 23.752 W075 18.364’
B. Fireman Go to N 41 23.754 W075 18.275’
C. Doctor Go to N 41 23.782 W075 18.243’
D. Teacher Go to N 41 23.728 W075 18.327’

4. Once you get to this next set of coordinates, look around for the tombstone of Bernard and Katherine & their children Alice, Edward, and James. Look at the date of birth and the date of death for Katherine. Both dates are unique, but one of them is specifically linked to the theme/name of this geocache. Choose the year of that date from the list below.
