Geocache Description:


This is a simple three stage multi-cache.  This is an adventure that will require you to solve field puzzles at stage 1 & 2 to find the container at stage 3.  As the cache is in a cemetery there is NO night caching.

 

Go to the posted coordinates for stage 1 where you will locate a headstone that contains the information to find stage 2.  This headstone marks the planned resting place for the non-conformist John D.A..  Count the number of words in the final line on the headstone.  This number is A.  Count the number of letters in the first word of the final line.  This number is B.  Count the number of letters in the second word of the final line.  This number is C.  Count the number of letters in the third word of the final line.  This number is D.  Count the number of letters in the fourth word of the final line.  This number is E.  Count the number of letters in the sixth word of the final line.  This number is F.

 

Stage 2 is located at N 39 06.JKL  W 094 56.XYZ.  Solve the following six equations to find stage 2.   

J = A - F; K = C + D + F; L = A + E

X = B + E; Y = C - D + E; Z = A - C

 

At stage 2 where you will locate a uniquely shaped headstone that contains the information to find stage 3.  On the west side of this headstone  is a diagonal banner with a name on it.  Count the number of letters in the name on the banner.  This number is H.

 

Stage 3, the final stage, is a camouflaged pill bottle located at N 39 06.MNP  W 094 56.TUV.  Solve the following six equations to find stage 3.   

M = H - 3; N = M - 2; P = N + 2

T = M + N + 1; U = M - 4; V = T + 2
