Geocache Description:


Go to the posted Coordinates and work the quick field puzzle.

The posted coordinates will take you to the Letchworth Pioneer Cemetery.  Here rest many of the pioneers who settled these once wild lands of Letchworth's State Park.  Among them buried here the Perry brothers and Reuben Jones who were the first to settle here in 1816 or 1817.

 

Find the Mother of James Botsford.  Use her dates of Birth and Death to work the simple puzzle. 

ABCD-EFGH  = are the years of Birth and Death from the stone

 

  • Subtract  ( D + E ) from the posted  NORTH coordinates.  This will give you the NORTH coordinates for the final.
  • Subtract  ( ( C + D + G + H ) x 10 ) from the posted WEST Coordinates .  This will give you the WEST coordinates for the final.

Take the short hike to the final Ammo can.
