Geocache Description:


This cache was originally placed for the sixth annual Greater Omaha Grave Hop, an event that takes place in the Omaha area. The caches are located in and around cemeteries. Please be respectful and search for the caches between dawn and dusk.

There are two parts to this Letterbox adventure:

1. Complete the little scavenger hunt below. When you get to the cemetery, locate the gravestone with the first cool, unique picture shown below. Then look for the second one and go to that one. Follow the pictures until you get to the last one. All of the pictures you'll need are facing you; you will not need to look at the other side of the stone.

2. Standing in front of the gravestone with the last picture, you'll need to project a waypoint to get to the final location. For cachers without experience projecting waypoints, there's a link to Geocaching Toolbox that will help you.

When you get to posted coordinates, find this picture:

Then, look for this one (my favorite!):

From there, look for this one:

One more:

Standing at the final gravestone, you need to project a waypoint to get to the final location. The distance is .12 mile, and the angle is 354°. If you've never done this before, you can click here to access the Coordinate Projection tool on Geocaching Toolbox, which I find very user-friendly. (Using this tool is optional; cachers can use whichever means they prefer to calculate the final coordinates.)

Instead of using the Letterbox clues and projecting the Waypoint, you may solve the puzzle below to get the coordinates to the final location. The given Difficulty rating assumes you're using the Letterbox clues; the puzzle is probably harder.
