****WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY****
We are always on the lookout for cemeteries as they are one of our favorite places to explore. Someone told us about the Barnes/Mckee cemetery so we went looking for it. We found it but wasn't prepared for the rough way of getting there. Fortunately, our vehicle was sturdy enough to make it most of the way. We did park and hiked part of the way but it was not too smooth of a walk. Once we made it to the cemetery itself it was better, hilly/slopy but better. We thought we would place a cache here and see what happens. We are adding parking coordinates so parking will be better for you than it was for us but you will still need to back out slowly as you really can't go forward. You will need to walk part of the way. We are rating this a 5/5 so please do not attempt this unless you feel confident in doing so and we advice to decide wisely in the winter months. Thank you!
Parking: N 39 14.780 W 86 48.798 (It's best not to drive past these yellow posts)
This is a simple multicache. Posted coordinates will lead you to the gravestone of a Civil War Soldier named Silas. Please solve the following to find the real coordinates:
N 39 14.ABC
W 86 48.DEF
A= Number of letters in the name of the town where he died.
B= 2nd number in the year he died.
C= Number of letters in his last name minus (-) 1.
D= Number of letters in the full name of the state in which he died minus (-) 5.
E= Sum of the last two numbers of the birth year added (+) together.
F= Last number of birth year.
You are looking for a container that only has a log sheet but is big enough to hold small trade items. Please BYOP. This is a cemetery so no night caching is allowed and please be respectful of your surroundings. Have fun and Happy Caching!
