Geocache Description:


This is a Puzzle Cache. There is no container at the posted coordinates.

This geoart is in memory of my wife, Mrs. LePew, who battled cancer until her death. In 2012 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent bilateral mastectomy to remove the cancer. In 2019 she was again diagnosed with cancer. This time it was metastatic breast cancer that had metastasized in her liver and bones of her lower spine and hip. In March of 2024 she lost her battle with cancer. To complete this geoart you will need to answer questions or solve puzzles that mostly relate to the life and times of Mrs. LePew.

Mrs. LePew loved growing flowers in her flower gardens around the house. In the Spring, once there was no threat of frost, she would be outside planting annuals, pulling weed and placing mulch in her gardens. Below is a list of flowers you would find in her gardens labeled A thru F, and the scientific names numbered 0 thru 9. Match up the flower with its scientific name to get the final coordinates for this cache.

A = Bee Balm0 – Paeonia
