Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.  .but the information to find the final is at the posted coordinates.

The ABCs of geocaching is a series of caches exploring some of the lingo that gets used in the geocaching world.

Coordinates is a set of numbers that pinpoint your global position hence the name GPS or Global Positioning System. . . though most probably just use the app on their phone to get to where the cache location is at.  I certainly use my phone in the field for finding the cache but for hiding I like my handheld GPS.  You generally need the coordinates to narrow down where to look for a cache.  I have used other means of figuring things out based on trial and error, reading logs and expectations and sometimes it has worked out.  Most GPSs are + or - 16 feet.  Sometimes you just have to look around once you get close.

This is a simple two stage multi-cache.  You will have to go to the posted coordinates to get some information and then update the waypoint or coordinates to find the final.

Final Coords N 40 41.ABC W 084 18.DEF

A = At the posted coordinates you will see a headstone for Christian F.  What is the first digit of the death year?

B = At the posted coordinates you will see a headstone for Henry.  What is the last digit of his death year?

C = At the posted coordinates you will see a heastone for Henry.  What is the first digit of his death day?

D = 3 x 2   

E =  At the posted coordinates you will see the tallest stone in the cemetery.  How many letters is the name marked on this stone?

F = The # of stones used at the posted coordinates to get the final coordinates?
