Geocache Description:


*** The Cache is not at the posted Coordinantes ***

** Please be respectful of the area **

* Please only cache during daylight hours *

 

This is a twist on the globally popular Post Office Box (P.O. Box) series. This one though is a Rest In Peace Box (R.I.P. Box) started by Forbez in New Jersey and I am bringing it here to Maryland.

Please read below on how to apply the set of names/numbers for the cache. (Grid,Row,Column)

 

Grid:

You will start at the posted coordinates and you will see plaques on the walls with the names of those entombed inside. For the purposes of this geocache, the Grid refers to a group of these plaques that is on its own separate wall.

The Grid name is determined by the last name on the plaque in the upper LEFT hand corner of the Grid. Find the plaque that matches the Grid name and you are standing in front of the Grid you need to use.

A Grid has rows of boxes that run from left to right and columns that run from top to bottom.

Row:

Starting at the upper left corner of the Grid and counting from top to bottom, the top Row is 1, the next Row down is 2 and continuing to the bottom of the Grid.

Column:

Starting at the upper left corner of the Grid and counting from left to right, the leftmost column of plaques is Column 1, the next column of plaques to the right is Column 2 and continuing to the right of the Grid.

The Puzzle:

Only visit during daylight hours.

Also, remember to always be respectful especially if you encounter other people during your visit.


Standing at the posted coordinates with you will see the mausoleum around you. You will start here and work your way around the walls.
