Geocache Description:


PLEASE READ CAREFULLY FOR LIMITED CEMETERY VISITING HOURS!!

 

This cemetery is located on Galveston ISD school property.  People are welcome to visit the cemetery and historical marker, but ONLY WHEN STUDENTS ARE NOT PRESENT.  This means visits are limited to after 4:00 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends.  I’ve included a photo of the historical marker on the cache page.  There is a small spot to park at the final location, but please be careful of traffic.

 

All answers needed to calculate the final coordinates can be found on the historical marker at the posted coordinates (or in the cache gallery).

 

A = Subtract one from the number of sailboats in the Crenshaw fleet

 

B = The number of hurricanes mentioned on this marker

 

C = Sum of the digits in the date this spot was designated as a historic Texas cemetery

 

D = First digit in the number of children born to James and Henrietta Crenshaw
