Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

This cache site is historically significant to the County and in the CO’s genealogy.
“On this land, once known as Elk Pasture, the first white children of the Allegheny Wilderness were born to John Martin Cable, frontiersman and part time Dunkard preacher, who came from Bedford in 1782.
“His homestead was occupied in 1795 by George and Philip Pringle, who had married Cable’s daughters Mary and Catherine, and for whom this locality is named.
“Both couples are buried in this pioneer cemetery.”
The posted coordinates will take you to their graves, located in two adjacent rows. Beside and to the left of George and Catherine lie their daughter Sarah Knepper and her husband William. Following this lineage finds Catherine as the mother-in-law of Linda’s Fifth (Allie and Macie’s Seventh) Great Uncle (William).
The stones are rather worn, or we would have you do math to find the final coordinates, so we’ll give you a bearing/distance instead. The cache is a film canister located 170’ away on a bearing of 276°, almost due West (20 ft North of that) under a rock, between the roots at the base of a large tree, south of a recently cut stump. The wooded area is part of the cemetery property.
To find this without calculating cache coordinates, set your gps or phone app to navigate to the posted coordinates. Use the compass view and go to the graves. Move away from the posted coordinates and walk in a circle around that point until your navigation arrow points Due East to ground zero. Follow the tail of that arrow, which should be pointing Due West, until you are 170’ from the posted coordinates. Cache is 20’ north of you. If you still need help, see the spoiler pic.
